Comprehensive Immigration Reform Effort Relaunched In Senate - Page 2

Yes, Obama needs to jump on this like he has done on other issues--Republican controlled lower house or not. Like on the issue of Gov't Spending, Obama needs to call Reid and Boehner to his office until a compromise is reached on this issue. I want to see the determination that he has bragged about before.
