bigheadbush.jpgThis morning President Bush gathered with Latino religious and political leaders to do one of his favorite things, pray. At the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C., Bush was especially praying to get immigration reform back on the Congressional agenda. He said:

Each day our nation fails to act, the problem only grows worse. I will continue to work closely with members of both parties, to get past our differences, and pass a bill I can sign this year.We must meet our moral obligation to treat newcomers with decency and show compassion to the vulnerable and exploited, because we’re called to answer both the demands of justice and the call for mercy. Most Americans agree on these principles,and now it’s time for our elected leaders in Congress to act.
