President Obama's commitment to immigration reform

President Obama reaffirmed his commitment to immigration reform recently when he spoke at the Chamizal National Memorial on the Mexican border . He stated: "One way to strengthen the middle class in America is to reform the immigration system so that there's no longer a massive underground economy that exploits a cheap source of labor while depressing wages for everybody else." He also expressed his wish for Congress to pass the Dream Act and enact comprehensive immigration reform. It is important for all of us to continue to contact our Senators and Congressional representatives and tell them that true, fair and comprehensive immigration reform is necessary.
