Actions: Obama voted FOR giving “guest workers” a path to citizenship (2006), FOR allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security (2006), FOR establishing a “guest worker” program (2006), FOR building a fence along the Mexican border (2006), AGAINST making English the official language of the US government (2007), and FOR comprehensive immigration reform (2007).
