Talking Immigration in Nashville

Here's what's going on at the White House today.         DAILY SNAPSHOT Wednesday, December 10, 2014             Featured Talking Immigration in Nashville Yesterday, President Obama traveled to Nashville to talk with Tennesseans about recent steps that he's taken to fix our broken immigration system. The President highlighted how immigrants are woven into the very fabric of who we are: "They" are "us."

They create jobs making this city more prosperous, and a more innovative place.
