President Barack Obama on Tuesday threw his support behind a comprehensive overhaul of U.S. immigration laws, saying “now’s the time” to replace a “badly broken” system.
Obama said the overhaul must provide a “pathway to citizenship” for the more than 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S., and that if Congress does not act “in a timely fashion” he will propose a bill “and insist that they vote on it right away.”
