1* President Obama has ordered that
nearly five million illegal immigrants be allowed to remain in this country
legally and apply for jobs. Those affected are mostly parents of those here
legally or children born in this country to illegal immigrant parents. Do you
favor or oppose the president’s plan?
2* When it comes to immigration,
should President Obama take action alone if Congress does not approve the
initiatives he has proposed or should the government do only what the president
and Congress agree on?
3* Does the president have the legal
authority to grant amnesty to several million illegal immigrants without the
approval of Congress?
4* Twenty-six states are suing the
Obama administration over the president’s decision to exempt up to five million
illegal immigrants from deportation. Would you favor or oppose your state suing
the administration over this new immigration policy?
5* How likely is it that the Obama
administration's decision to allow thousands of young illegal immigrants to
remain in this country last year will encourage more illegal immigration by
young people this summer?
