Looking For An Immigration Solution

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 04:37:18 GMT

THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody. We have just finished what I consider to be a very productive meeting on one of the most critical issues that I think this nation faces, and that is an immigration system that is broken and needs fixing. We have members of Congress from both chambers, from parties, who have participated in the meeting and shared a range of ideas. I think the consensus is that despite our inability to get this passed over the last several years, the American people still want to see a solution in which we are tightening up our borders, or cracking down on employers who are using illegal workers in order to drive down wages -- and oftentimes mistreat those workers. And we need a effective way to recognize and legalize the status of undocumented workers who are here. Now, this is -- there is not by any means consensus across the table. As you can see, we've got a pretty diverse spectrum of folks here. But what I'm encouraged by is that after all the overheated rhetoric and the occasional demagoguery on all sides around this issue, we've got a responsible set of leaders sitting around the table who want to actively get something done and not put it off until a year, two years, three years, five years from now, but to start working on this thing right now. My administration is fully behind an effort to achieve comprehensive immigration reform. I have asked my Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Secretary Janet Napolitano, to lead up a group that is going to be working with a leadership group from both the House and the Senate to start systematically working through these issues from the congressional leaders and those with the relevant jurisdiction. What we've heard is through a process of regular order, they would like to work through these issues both in the House and in the Senate. In the meantime, administratively there are a couple of things that our administration has already begun to do. The

Jonathan Gillardi for President 2008 Against Obama, McCain & Palin

"Citizen's Cry" - An Internet Video Produced to Inspire the Youth of Today to Vote http://www.BySpecialInvitationOnly.com In a time of anticipation over the outcome of our national election, comes a voting message produced to inspire the youth of today to vote. Executive Producer Hooman Khalili and Adam Ottley, founder of RIVERCAVE Productions, brings us a voice from the future; a "citizen's cry" for what we must do today and not leave for tomorrow. Written by Adam Ottley and beautifully directed by Corey Rosen, whose credits include "Iron Man," "Superman Returns," "Star Wars," "Pirates of the Caribbean," and "War of the Worlds." "A Citizen's Cry" is a passionate endeavor made possible by Palm, Inc., which helped funded the project and created the landing page. Palm makes the Palm Centro, a wildly popular smartphone among American youth. http://www.BySpecialInvitationOnly.com WHY: This video is a call to the American millennial generation, and the rest of the country, to speak now with our vote, so that our silence will not echo for generations to come. The "Citizen's Cry" makers are targeting the millennial generation specifically because less than 50% of them have ever voted in a presidential election. The youth vote of America is of unprecedented importance today; this is a vital audience that needs to be reached. Our responsibility to vote is our greatest opportunity for change. It is crucial for all generations, creeds and colors to take action. Help us spread the word
