Obama the anti-immigration President?

Alex Nowratesh of the Competitive Enterprise Institute is arguing that Obama’s reputation of being pro-immigration is undeserved. In his article he points out that the Obama administration has increased restrictions and costs to legal immigration as well as increased bureaucracy targeting enforcement of the migration laws.

This is despite Obama’s opposition to Arizona’s recent immigration reforms as well as his support for an amnesty for illegal immigrants. Significantly, the Obama administration is setting new records for expelling immigrants.

I suggest you read the whole article here, or Reason Magazine’s summary of the article here.
