Will you stand with me?

Friend -- Everyone in Washington agrees that our immigration system is broken. And more than a year ago, senators from both parties came together to pass a comprehensive agreement. But in all that time, the House never voted on the measure at all. So that's why, a few days ago, I announced from the White House my plans to take a first step toward fixing the problem. This action means we can crack down on illegal immigration at the border, prioritize deporting felons, not families, and require that many immigrants who have been living in the shadows pass a criminal background check and pay taxes. It means we can help up to 5 million people. I'm proud to have done this -- and I hope you're proud to support it. But it's just a first step. We still need Congress to pass a bill, because we need a comprehensive solution to this problem. Add your name, and help to make sure they get the message. Moving forward, I'm going to continue reaching out to Republican leaders so we can work on a bipartisan bill. But in the meantime, I won't sit idly by -- and nor should you. So add your name, and tell Congress the time is now for comprehensive immigration reform: http://my.democrats.org/Support-Immigration-Action Thanks for stepping up. Let's get this done together.
