Obama Denies Blame on Immigration Reform

Washington Examiner reported that: President Obama sought to deflect any blame for stalled immigration reform away from the White House this week, telling supporters that if it fails it will be because congressional Republicans didn't want to address the problem. White House press secretary Jay Carney says Obama is now trying to "re-energize and reinvigorate" the debate on comprehensive immigration reform, which could include proposals to increase security along the U.S.-Mexican border and provide a path to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants already living in the United States. The White House blames Congress for the lack of action on immigration reform and says the president supports broad changes in immigration. But unlike President Bush, he hasn't issued his own plan.
