Obama makes a case for immigration overhaul

Today, President Barack Obama explained the need for repairing the immigration system in the United States, through reforming immigration laws. Since his presidency began, this was President Obama's first speech focusing upon immigration needs, particularly where it involves America's Hispanic community.

Speaking from the American University, in Washington DC, President Obama offered no new programs as of yet. Some ideas President Obama previously expressed reportedly included greater security along the United States' borders, as well as providing a "path to citizenship" for those here illegally.
