White House Week

This week, the President delivered a landmark speech on immigration reform. The President is taken executive action to fix and build a system that will crack down on illegal immigration at the border; prioritize the deportation of felons, not families; and increase accountability so that more than 4 million undocumented immigrants have the opportunity to pay taxes and play by the rules.

White House Week

This week, President Obama delivered a speech from Knox College, Illinois about his vision of growing the economy from the middle-out and how he plans to rebuild the cornerstones of middle-class security.

The cornerstones of his plan are: 1) job security with good wages; 2) a good education; 3) a home to call your own; 4) a secure retirement; 5) affordable health care; 6) more opportunity and less inequality.
