Obama promises amnesty, $10 billion foreclosure fund.

Politics: Joyous just joyous. The requirements for citizenships is very low in his worldview.

Obama began his campaign swing through Texas earlier in the day in San Antonio. At a rally in a heavily Hispanic neighborhood in this majority Hispanic city, Obama said the issue of immigration should not be used as "a political football."

"It's not going to just involve building a big fence all the way across the border. That's not going to work," said Obama, addressing an issue that has angered many border residents.

While some physical barriers will be needed, better monitoring should also be used, and those who are already in the United States should be encouraged to come "out of the shadows," Obama said.

Illegal immigrants should have a pathway to citizenship, provided that they register, pay fines and learn English. Rounding up and deporting all illegal immigrants is impractical, he said.

In San Antonio he also had a roundtable discussion on his plan to address the growing number of foreclosures. He has called for the creation of a $10 billion fund to help prevent foreclosures and legislation to require more disclosure from lenders.


Great more money to subsidize poor borrowing practices.
