Today, President Obama spoke at American University in Washington DC , delivering a speech on the need for comprehensive immigration reform … so, of course, the early responses from anti-immigration groups like ALIPAC have been entirely reasonable:
“We call on all candidates for Congress to clearly state their opposition to Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty,” said William Gheen of ALIPAC. “President Obama is committing a form of Treason against the American public by refusing to adequately enforce our existing immigration and border laws at the behest Global corporations and financial influences intent upon usurping the self-governance of the American public. Americans want immigration enforcement, instead of Obama’s Amnesty and we expect voters to punish Amnesty supporters in the 2010 elections.”

Obama’s speech was made at American University, which is where Dr. Robert Pastor has advocated the formation of a North American Community, which has been called a North American Union by those opposed to the components of the plan that calls for a path to citizenship for illegal aliens. Obama also used the words ‘Security and Prosperity’ in his speech to convey his support for the Pastor plan, which was manifest during the Bush administration as the Security and Prosperity Partnership or SPP.
