In this segment of the La Opinión interview, which tackled the issue of immigration reform, Obama signaled his support for the proposed DREAM Act as part of a comprehensive reform package, but said he was open to discussing pushing it on its own as a “down payment” on reform if the Congressional Hispanic Caucus sees that as a viable strategy. Obama stated: “If in discussions with the Hispanic Caucus there’s a sense that there’s an opportunity to do this and that it would be helpful to provide a down payment on comprehensive immigration reform, I’m happy to have that conversation. I don’t want anyone to think that if we pass the DREAM Act in whatever form, that will solve the problem.”
