Washington – President Barack Obama says 25 foreign-born service members who became U.S. citizens on the Fourth of July are vivid reminders that America is and always has been a nation of immigrants.

He says it’s that rich diversity that makes the country the best in the world.
To keep attracting the “best and brightest” from beyond America’s shores Obama also says, quote, “We have to fix our immigration system, which is broken.”
Legislative efforts to overhaul the system have stalled in Congress.
Obama announced this week that he will pursue changes he can make on his own without Congress.
The president commented at a Fourth of July naturalization ceremony at the White House for the 25 foreign-born U.S. military members who represented 15 countries.
Mr. Obama is understood by the silence of his own take on time. Really, its not that America has always “been” a nation of immigrants. Its the fact that America is Always Blessed by BEING a nation of immigrants. A slight miscalculation of the great man’s speech, but its the difference between asking for our people to be limited in our voice and austerity and otherwise as opposed to being formed in liberty. He always misses the mark in making liberty. He is not just a liberal socialist, he is a broken record.
Correction, Mr. Prez–America has always welcomed those who arrive LEGALLY as my parents did. And they worked and payed taxes and raised law abiding citizens– We will always be a nation of immigrants–from the 1600s until now. However, they worked hard, tilled the soil, built homes and lives. I don’t think we can say the same for illegals–some work–illegally–so they don’t pay tax and their employers don’t either. What about the insurance that you have forced us to get? Will they be forced or will they pay cash because they have no legal status. What about if they are hospitalized? They are automatically put on Medicaid so that hospitals are paid–and THAT, dear Mr. Prez–comes out of MY pocket.
From Kenya?
LEGALLY…Mr. President, NOT ILLEGALLY like you are doing! My father went through he// to come here legally from Czech. but since his brother was lame he was seen as “unfit”. His brother died…Does that mean these kids should face the same end, no but I didn’t realize Mexico’s children were facing Genocide from their their government, like Syria, Iran, Africa? Hmm..perhaps that is why you are allowing moslem illegals to enter too.
