(CNN) – Seeking to ignite congressional movement on immigration reform, President Obama said Monday he expects the Senate to take significant action on the issue next month.

"I expect a bill to be put forward. I expect the debate to begin next month. I want to sign that bill into law as soon as possible," Obama said at a naturalization ceremony at the White House.

"We are making progress, but we've got to finish the job," Obama said.

"Everyone pretty much knows what's broken. Everybody knows how to fix it," he also said. "We've all proposed solutions and we've got a lot of white papers and studies, we've just got, at this point, to work up the political courage to do what's required to be done."

The remarks followed a swearing-in ceremony for 28 service members–13 of whom are active duty–in the East Room of the White House. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was also on hand to administer the oath.

"Immigration makes us stronger," Obama also said at the 25-minute event, attended by about 200 friends and family members of those being sworn in.

"It keeps us vibrant, it keeps us hungry, it keeps us prosperous. It is part of what makes this such a dynamic country. If we want to keep attracting the best and the brightest that the world has to offer then we need to do a better job of welcoming them," he added.

Yea.. it was suppose to be by end of this month when they said it last month, and by end of Feb when they started saying it after the inauguration, and by "early" next year after Obama won re-election, I guess it is still technically "early 2013".

I am not complaining and loosing hope tho, already waited this long. We ladies and gents just have to stay optimistic that something will get done at "some point" this year.

I somewhat feel like a dog being teased with a treat that I will have soon but -- not yet, lol.

Agreed man.. But DACA right now is a real blessing for some of us.. Before DACA there were times where I honestly felt hopeless seeing all my childhood friends drive by me while I was at the bus stop in the blistering heat and freezing snow then having all my friends asking me why I don't drive yet.. Really depressing but, all is good now, have faith we got an amazing president who really is pushing for us. God bless Obama and his family am I right or am I right?

Sona, it is unfortunate that we're not approved yet. Be mature and happy for others. You'll get your approval soon and then you'll be singing his words of wisdom...

I don't care who you are, what you did. I just pointed out to the logical flaw in your previous post. To some it was almost funny.
