In 2007 the 'dagger' of an idea that killed President Bush's effort at reforming the immigration system was lax border security.

For the first time since 2007 there is political momentum behind fixing the immigration system. President Obama in his State of the Union speech reached out to the right-wing by saying illegal immigrants seeking citizenship will have to pay taxes, learn English and get in line behind people who are trying to enter the United States legally.

The factual reality is that the vast majority of immigrants - legal and illegal - contribute more to this country than they take out in social services.
