President Obama told Democratic Senators Thursday that he is ready to put forward his own immigration bill if they don't move on their own.

He met Wednesday with senators Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), four members of the bipartisan gang-of-eight that has been trying to hammer out a way forward.

"The President thanked the Senators for their work to date and told them that while he was pleased with the progress, he expects the process to continue to move forward and stands ready to introduce his own legislation if Congress fails to act," the White House said in a statement.

This evening the President, joined by the Vice President and members of his senior staff, convened a meeting with Senate Democrats involved in the bipartisan effort to pass commonsense immigration reform to discuss the progress made to date on this important goal. In the meeting the President reiterated the key principles he believes must be a part of any bipartisan, commonsense effort, including continuing to strengthen border security, creating an earned path to citizenship, holding employers accountable, and streamlining legal immigration. Thanks to steps taken in recent years, the border today is more secure than any time in history, and the President made clear that building on this progress must continue to be a priority as part of reform. The President also expressed his belief that continuing to strengthen our borders and creating a path to earned citizenship that ensures everyone plays by the same set of rules are shared goals and should not be seen as mutually exclusive. The President thanked the Senators for their work to date and told them that while he was pleased with the progress, he expects the process to continue to move forward and stands ready to introduce his own legislation if Congress fails to act.

He changes it every month. Come end of March, he will say April. Telling you man, he has all his bases covered. There is no workaround. Just one of these days, he will be right.

-Love for DA
