And so is the controversy

The first lady ran into a slight political storm this week, when what was supposed to be a straight-forward photo-opportunity for her healthy eating campaign became another story about the Arizona immigration law.

Acutely timed considering her husband, Mr Obama, and the president of Mexico, Felipe Calderón, had just been talking about the immigration law. Coincidence?

It appears that US immigration and the effects of illegal immigration are far-reaching indeed. So with Barack Obama apparently reluctant to press for immigration reform with only 6-months to go before the mid-term elections, it appears that the daughters and sons of those here illegally will have to contend with the worry of their parents plight for a little longer.
