Obama: 'I need a dance partner' on immigration reform - CNN.com
America's immigration system is broken, but only a bipartisan political movement can fix it, President Barack Obama said Monday.
"The idea of doing things on my own is very tempting, I promise you, not just on immigration reform. But that's not how our system works. That's not how our democracy functions," Obama told the National Council of La Raza.
