Obama Renews Call for Congressional Action on Immigration Reform 
-----------------------------------------------------------------


 
President Obama is renewing a push for immigration reform in the
aftermath of the government shutdown that dominated Capitol Hill for
weeks. Speaking in Washington, Obama urged Congress to take action.

President Obama: "But what we can't do is just sweep the problem under
the rug one more time, leave it for somebody else to solve sometime in
the future. You know, rather than create problems, let's prove to the
American people that Washington can actually solve some problems. This
reform comes as close to anything we've got to a law that will benefit
everybody now and far into the future. So let's see if we can get this
done. And let's see if we can get it done this year."
