Who's for Immigration?

President Obama recently addressed the country about getting some type of immigration reform passed this year. When the president addresses the country it's broadcasted on all news stations live. You are able to hear him speak and do not have to rely on a third party source on what was said. We all know how news outlets can twist and misinterpret stories. President Obama is urging Congress to pass some type of immigration reform this year, saying that this will be beneficial for the country. He talks about former President Bush supporting immigration reform, as well as S. 744 passing with bipartisan support in the Senate. I think part of his speech captured in this clip is mainly to address the Republicans of the House. The media is portraying the Republican party as not wanting immigration reform or hindering it. The Republican party is taking a real beating in the media lately because of the government shutdown, and now on their stances on immigration reform. Public opinion polls already show American people are not happy with the party and the media is up playing that. We can only wait to see how immigration will play out in
