(CNSNews.com) - Mexican President Felipe Calderon yesterday joined President Barack Obama in calling for comprehensive immigration reform, a term used to describe reform that includes granted legal status to illegal aliens in the United States.
We have also discussed immigration, an issue on which both countries have responsibilities, Obama said, standing next to Calderon during a White House joint news conference.
As I told President Calderón, I remain deeply committed to fixing our broken immigration system with comprehensive reform that continues to secure our borders, enforces our laws--including against businesses that break the law--and requiring accountability from undocumented workers, Obama said. And we have to conduct this debate in a way that upholds our values as a nation of both laws and immigrants. So Im eager to work with Republicans and Democrats to get this reform done, which is vital to the U.S. economy.
I think I read somewhere that we were throwing softballs at them while they were shooting live ammunition at our guys. Not to worry though. Rumor has it that Obama has authorized regular baseballs now.
