Barack Obama, Speech before League of United Latin American Citizens, July 8, 2008: "[...] And I will make it a top priority in my first year as President not only because we have an obligation to secure our borders and get control of what comes in and out of our country. And not only because we have to crack down on employers who are abusing undocumented immigrants instead of hiring citizens. But because we have to finally bring undocumented immigrants out of the shadows. Yes, they broke the law. And they should have to pay a fine, and learn English, and go to the back of the line." This report discusses how President Obama can keep "his campaign pledge of controlling illegal immigration and strengthening American Borders."
