U.S. President Barack Obama urges Congress to pass immigration reform
President Barack Obama urges Congress to pass immigration reform. He says he is open to the House of Representatives passing piecemeal bills rather than the comprehensive legislation already passed by the Senate. Obama mentions a recent meeting with business leaders, saying that although he knows many did not vote for him, they agreed with him that immigration should be a top priority. He also comments on the agreement between Iran, the U.S. and five other global powers for a six-month test freeze of the country's nuclear program. The speech is disrupted by hecklers. Held at the Betty Ann Ong Chinese Recreation Center in San Francisco.
