Hundreds of Irish immigrants gather under a banner at the U.S. Capitol

John Sweeney, the son of Irish immigrants and President of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL/CIO) and Joe Hansen, president of Change to Win said on Monday that they supported a bill that allowed undocumented immigrants already in the U.S. a path of citizenship. Although opposing a large addition of temporary working programs, they said they would support some kind of worker program.

“The labor movement will work together to make sure that the White House as well as Congress understand that we speak about immigration reform with one voice,” Sweeney said in a statement to The New York Times.

NO ONE HAS A RIGHT TO ENTER ANY COUNTRY ILLEGALLY. The USA has over 12,000,000 ILLEGALS that take jobs from Americans for scab wages from their LAW VIOLATING employers account USA federals do not allow employement or renting to any ILLEGAL. Mean while the American taxpayers pick up the ILLEGAL's tab. Obama is crossing the line by putting the ILLEGALS ahead of the American people so that he will get the LATINO vote in 2012. The 14th Admendment was not written for anyone entering the USA unlawfully or their offspring as well and also any person on a legal trip in the USA that for a female produces a child in the USA on that trip. Read the DRED SCOTT case of 1857. Why do nations have borders and laws other than the Vatican nation?
