Obama: White House

Obama Dept: The question now is simple, Obama said, one week after being sworn in for a second term in the White House. Do we have the resolve as a people, as a country, as a government to finally put this issue behind us? I believe that we do, according to Globe and Mail. Yes, they broke the rules, Mr. Obama said Tuesday of those who illegally entered the U.S. But these 11 million men and women are now here. ... An overwhelming number of these individuals are not looking for any trouble and mr. Obama, speaking at a campaign-style rally in Las Vegas, sought to win public support for changes that would give an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants a chance to become citizens. The president hailed a bipartisan Senate group working on a similar track but left unresolved key details that could derail the complex and emotional effort. Immigration advocates said they expected the president s proposals to be more progressive than those featured in a bipartisan Senate plan announced Monday, including a faster pathway to citizenship.
