No Strong Call for Amnesty in State of the Union; Gutierrez Vows Action
President Obama briefly touched on immigration during the State of the Union speech yesterday, saying, "And we should continue the work of fixing our broken immigration system - to secure our borders, enforce our laws, and ensure that everyone who plays by the rules can contribute to our economy and enrich our nation."
In a Huffington Post commentary, Rep. Luis Gutierrez says that "[Obama] did not go far enough. . ." Gutierrez says that it is clear that Congress must "set a timeline for the comprehensive immigration reform Americans want and deserve."
