President Obama: For three years, I have acted without Congress on Immigration

June 22, 2012 | Modified: June 22, 2012 at 1:56 pm

President Obama told Hispanic leaders in Congress this afternoon that his administration was willing to act without congress to help illegal immigrants, and demanded that Congress pass the Dream Act.

“My administration has been doing what we can without the help in Congress for more than three years now,” he said. “Last week, we took another step. On Friday, we announced we are listing the shadow of deportation from deserving young people who were brought to this country as children.”

Obama insisted that it was time for Congress to come together with a solution for the immigration problem

 "My door has been open for three and a half years," He added. "They know where to find me."
