Legal immigrants — remember hearing about them? You might know one, or even be one. They work hard, often in tough, low-paying jobs. They support their families. They worship at our churches. Many of their kids are American-born or spent most of their lives here, and their hopes, dreams, and patriotism are just like ours.
Tonight, though, following President Obama’s announcement of executive amnesty, many of them are feeling ripped off.
This is a moral imperative, a national security imperative and an economic imperative. #ImmigrationAction

Our nanny is from Guatemala. She arrived legally 5 years ago. Tomorrow, she takes her citizenship oath. Boy, did she waste her time.

My wife came here legally. If #ObamaAmnesty happens, can we get a refund for all the money we spent on her green card application?

Do you get a refund? Is executive amnesty constitutional?
