US Presidency
2013

But the reason I came here today is because of a challenge where the differences are dwindling; where a broad consensus is emerging; and where a call for action can now be heard coming from all across America. I am here today because the time has come for softheaded, comprehensive immigration reform. The time is now. Now is the time. Now is the time. Now is the time. Now is the time. I am here because most Americans agree that it's time to fix a system that's been broken for way too long. I am here because business leaders, faith leaders, labor leaders, law enforcement, and leaders from both parties are coming together to say now is the time to find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as the land of opportunity. Now is the time to do this so we can strengthen our economy and strengthen our country's future. Think about it we define ourselves as a nation of immigrants. That's who we are in our bones.
