U.S. President Obama speaks on the need for comprehensive immigration reform

Description:: President Obama speaks on the need for comprehensive immigration reform and outlines a proposal for increased border security and penalizing businesses that knowingly hire undocumented workers. He proposes an option for the 11 million illegal workers already in the country to earn citizenship, and streamlining the current system for legal immigration. Obama compliments the efforts of a bi-partisan group of senators who announced their immigration reform plan the previous day but says that if Congress can not pass its own immigration reform legislation "in a timely fashion," he will send his own bill and "insist that they vote on it right away."
