Obama's priority. Will they be able to legally vote by the election? Our immigration system isn't broken. Washington is broken and that is all we need to fix. We have limits on the number of immigrants for a reason and the illegals have seriously messed things up. Meanwhile, the honest ones trying to come here the right way are left waiting forever.
Obama’s Cinco de Mayo wish: Signing the DREAM Act

President Barack Obama hosted a Cinco de Mayo party at the White House -- "even though it's only tres de mayo, we just like to get the fiesta started early around here" -- and promised to push for a comprehensive overhaul of America's immigration policies if he's reelected.
"There's still plenty of unfinished business, including fixing our broken immigration system," he said. "It's long past the time that we unleash the promise of all our young people and make the DREAM Act a reality."
Mitt Romney has vowed to veto the legislation, which would allow some undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children to stay on American soil legally, provided they have a clean record and graduate from high school or serve in the military. Republican Senator Marco Rubio has also pushed a version of the measure that would provide temporary, non-immigrant visas.
