Last night, President Obama announced historic first steps to begin fixing our broken immigration system, and today he again reiterated his commitment to keep our families together in front of a rally in Las Vegas, NV.
With Congressional Republicans refusing to budge on allowing a vote on the Senate’s bipartisan immigration bill for almost a year and a half now, the President made the right decision in providing relief from deportation to our families — and he deserves our thanks.
As the President said in his speech, “This is just a first step. This is not the only step.” We’re just as committed as ever to win a permanent solution for our families, and we’ll keep fighting until our community finally crosses that finish line.
