If Obama plan is not going to cover illegals than he needs to quit using the 47 million number that he keeps talking about. He needs to use the right information or people that do check facts start noticing the difference.
Of course all people should be paid a decent wage. As a member of US society, I'm not fine with the fact that illegals are paid less undercutting our own workers but there is damn little I (we) can do about it besides boycotting here and there. Fines, heck, put some CEO's in jail!!

Speaking for myself, I'm not upset when illegals are forced to leave. I think there are some stories that get played on newschannels that tug on people's heartstrings but those stories are the exception, not the rule. Illegals are sent home every day and most people could care less.

Please show me credible proof that illegals are included in the 47 million number that Senator Obama uses.
