Obama: Enough Support for Immigration Reform in House 
------------------------------------------------------


 
President Obama continues a public campaign to rally support for
immigration reform. On Tuesday, Obama hosted a group of corporate
executives at the White House. Obama said he believes there is enough
congressional support to overcome opposition from hard-line Republicans.

President Obama: "It's my estimation that we actually have the votes to
get comprehensive immigration reform done in the House right now. The
politics are challenging for the speaker and others, and we want to make
it as easy for him as possible. This is not an issue where we're looking
for a political win. This is one where we're looking for a substantive
win for the U.S. economy and the American people and the businesses that
are represented here."
