Obama Assures Mexican President of Committment to Immigration Reform

Following the White House’s first press briefing in Spanish this week, President Obama met with Mexican President, Felipe Calderon, yesterday to address the drugs and violence that threatens both sides of the border. President Obama emphasized the need for a comprehensive immigration strategy in an interview with CNN:
