Remarks by the President on Immigration Reform

Yesterday, President Obama reiterated his call for Congress to pass immigration reform:  “Securing our borders; modernizing our legal immigration system; providing a pathway to earned, legalized citizenship; growing our economy; strengthening our middle class; reducing our deficits -- that’s what common-sense immigration reform will do,” he said.

As observers well know, this is not the President's first call for immigration reform.  We will stay tuned to see whether Congress can pass immigration reform this year.
