Obama on Dream Act: 'No is not an option'

President Obama told a largely Hispanic gathering at the White House today that he will continue to fight for legislation that would ease the path to citizenship for some children of illegal immigrants.

Speaking at a Cinco de Mayo reception, Obama said congressional Republicans have blocked the "Dream Act," which would apply to undocumented college students and members of the military.

"We didn't come this far just to let partisan politics stand in our way," Obama said. "'No' is not an option."

Latinos are the nation's fastest growing voting population, and are major prize this election.

Polls currently give Obama a huge lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney among Latino voters; the president's re-election team is currently running ads in Spanish language media.

In his remarks, Obama also pledged to push for "comprehensive immigration reform," which includes tougher border enforcement as well as a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants who are already here.

Some Republicans say Obama's proposed pathway amounts to amnesty for lawbreakers, and that legislation should emphasize border security.

One prominent Republican -- Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a potential Romney running mate -- has proposed a modified version of the Dream Act.

Obama = Nothing but talk!!!

Obama is pushing for the DA at the right time.

Yea, right before the elections ;D

He was pushing for it in 2010 also.

Would it be awesome if Obama pulled the Executive Order on the DA?
-wishful thinking.
