“I can promise that I will try to do it in the first year of my second term,” President Obama recently told Enrique Acevedo, an anchor at the Spanish language television network Univision. Obama was talking about comprehensive immigration reform, which would regularize the status of more than ten million people living in this nation illegally.

On the same subject, four years ago, then-Senator Obama told the League of United Latin American Citizens: “We need to do it by the end of my first term as President of the United States of America. And I will make it a top priority in my first year as president.”
