The new whitehouse.gov website is up and running today with the administration's agenda on many topics from civil rights to women.  The page on immigration is brief and begins with a quote from the 2007 Senate immigration debate.

"The time to fix our broken immigration system is now… We need stronger enforcement on the border and at the workplace… But for reform to work, we also must respond to what pulls people to America… Where we can reunite families, we should. Where we can bring in more foreign-born workers with the skills our economy needs, we should."

-- Barack Obama, Statement on U.S. Senate Floor May 23, 2007
