President Obama’s recent speech on immigration reform called for bipartisan cooperation in overhauling the current immigration system.  He re-stated the need for comprehensive reform and outlined a plan including: 

• Stronger border security,
• Stronger interior enforcement,
• Clearing the backlog of those awaiting approval of their visa applications, and
• Earned path to legalization.
