Obama defends failed US Visa and immigration reform efforts


On Monday Obama said it will take time to change US Visa and immigration policies, he told on a Spanish-language radio programme. He said that even after Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech, it took years more for African Americans to achieve many of their goals. Let me say this as an African American: We worked for decades on civil rights, Obama said. "It didn't come after two years. People had to march, they had to have their heads beaten, they had fire hoses put on them . . . Change isn't easy. It doesn't happen overnight.


Many Latino voters have grown disenchanted over the signature issue of US Visa and immigration policy and the President is heavily courting Latino voters in the final days of the fall political campaigns.


Many people think millions of undocumented workers already in the U.S. while others insist, the country need tighter border controls to stop illegal immigrant.
