Immigration: It’s Time

Let's hope the President and the House and Senate can get together and get immigration reform passed soon. - - Donna Poisl

President Obama keeps saying he is serious about fixing immigration. You can expect him to say it again at the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast in Washington on Friday morning. He will likely say it again next week, if his twice-postponed meeting with Congressional leaders to discuss immigration reform finally takes place.
