President Obama is giving a major speech on immigration this morning at American University. It’s only his second time addressing the issue in a big public address. He’s expected to address the administration’s decision to file suit against Arizona’s harsh immigration law and, per usual, urge Republicans to join him in pushing for a comprehensive overhaul—but without offering any kind of specific timeline.

Support Mother Jones
Dear Reader,
Mother Jones is a nonprofit, and December is our most important fundraising month. We need to raise $400,000. I hope you'll take a moment to read why that number is so important and learn about our priorities heading into 2019. We'll be pushing back hard against the threats to media and our democracy, and I hope you'll join us with a tax-deductible, year-end donation.
