The immigration system in our country is broken. The congress has failed to inact reforms. The Senate has approved a reform bill, now over 500 days ago. The house leadership refused to take the bill to the floor for debate.
Millions of undocumented immigrants want to play by the same rules as everyone else in this country. I hear the news media call them “illegal” immigrants. I believe UNDOCUMENTED is the correct term. People by nature of their humanity are not illegal (another debate).
This is a link to the actual speech President Obama gave on Thursday evening.

For those who didn’t hear the President speach, this is a good read.
