PRESIDENT OBAMA LAUNCHES HIS IMMIGRATION REFORM INITIATIVE IN NEVADA.............

President Barack Obama traveled to a Las Vegas, Nevada high school and delivered a speech on Immigration Reform and his vision and initiative to address and solve the problem that includes the presence of 11 million undocumented persons in the United States and the security of our national borders remaining faulty those causing even further illegal immigration to continue taking place.  The President's spirited address spoke positively of yesterday's Group of 8 Bipoartisan Senators Immigration Reform Proposal, and pledged to support it; but promised if Congress fails to enact legislation expeditiously, he will send up his own initiative and call on them to pass it immediately.  Earlier today Florida U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, the first major Republican to announce he would be working on a Immigration Reform proposal as a top priority, and is now one of the four GOP members of the Group of 8, who made yesterday's Immigration Reform framework.  He took to the floor of the Senate hours before the President's speech, and spoke on the framework he has helped to forge, while criticizing President Obama's involvement in the process multiple times.  Rubio also appeared on radio with Rush Limbaugh today, in which he spoke of the Group of 8 proposal on Immigration Reform and seemed to somewhat netralize the rollout oppposition Liumbaugh had already announced on his program saying it was up to him and FOX News to kill this attempt at Immigration Reform.  So the renewed effort to achieve Immigration Reform goes forward, the first official salvos having been fired, and with the House Republican Leadership expected to announce a Bipartisan House of Representatives proposal to address the issue within a matter of days............Fr.  Troy
