A coalition of ethnic and minority groups is asking President Barack Obama to create a presidential commission to consider establishing a museum to explore the history of immigration and migration that formed the nation.
In a letter Wednesday, the group called for Obama to appoint a commission to study the creation of a National Museum of the American People in Washington. The group wrote that such an effort would serve as an "act of reconciliation" in the wake of the election.
In 2011, the coalition worked with members of Congress to introduce legislation calling for the museum.

Will the museum address the proper way to legally immigrate here from ALL countries? Or will it only address Mexican border and illegal immigration?
Just what we need: another governmentdepartment with do-nothing employees that will expand exponentially to do more nothing at taxpayers' expense...
