Obama Tells Congress To Fix Broken Immigration Laws

Posted January 27, 2010 by Patrick Young, Esq.

In the State of the Union Address tonight, President Obama drew a standing ovation when he called on Congress to work with him to “continue fixing our broken immigration laws”. Obama said that the United States needs to maintain a strong border, but also needs to provide a way for undocumented immigrants who play by the rules to become full contributors to American society.
While Obama did not offer specifics or a timetable, the inclusion of immigration reform in the State of the Union address is a major step forward for the reform movement. His adoption of the central theme of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform movement, Fix Our Broken immigration System, signals a continued commitment to the effort.
