WASHINGTON – (AP) President Barack Obama praised Senator Bob Menendez’ immigration reform bill, saying that both parties should work to fix the broken immigration system. “We cannot continue to allow partisan politics and divisive rhetoric to dominate and delay action on this critical issue,” said Obama in a press conference at the White House referring to Republican opposition to an immigration reform. Menendez, representative for New Jersey, presented a measure for an immigration reform on Sept. 30.
