President Obama is vowing to call attention to immigration issues in his first months in office, but he is stopping short of promising to introduce immigration reform legislation anytime soon.
In a 10-minute interview Thursday with Univision’s Spanish-language radio show, El Pistolero, Obama was asked if he would act on immigration reform within three months.
“What I’ve said is that, in the first 90 days, I want to get a group of members of Congress who are interested in the issue, employers, workers, immigrants rights groups, I want to get them around the table to start moving forward on the agenda,” Obama said. “There are a lot of things that we can do to help prepare for comprehensive immigration reform. For example, one thing that we can do right away is to start making it easier for people who are applying for legal immigration status to apply and do so in a way that is not so expensive for them—where we’re eliminating some of these backlogs so families can reunify more quickly.”

How about pushing for dream act to be passed Mr.President?

It is dissapointing that he has stopped voicing support for the dream act since he won the elections and became president.
