Obama vows Salvadorian aid, immigration reform

The Washington Times reports that in a visit to El Salvador, President Obama vowed to push the U.S. Congress to pass an immigration bill to aid the country. He assured El Salvador, which has almost 2 million of its citizens living in the United States, that his administration is still committed to passing comprehensive immigration legislation.

Obama won’t suspend deportations

The Washington Times reports that President Obama says he does not have the power to suspend deportations, a move many immigrant-rights advocates had hoped could grant de-facto legal status to hundreds of thousands of illegally present immigrants. In a town hall hosted by the Spanish-language Univision broadcast network, President Obama said that the law is very clear in terms of immigration enforcement and to ‘ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as president.’
