Michelle Obama: 'Immigration reform is necessary'

Wrapping up her first solo foreign trip, first lady Michelle Obama said in Mexico that changes to the immigration system are necessary, but will be politically difficult.

"It's not enough that the president wants it," Mrs. Obama told CNN in an interview. "We need Republicans and Democrats to support it, as well."

President Obama will continue pushing for major changes to the immigration system because the current one is creating problems on both sides of the border.

"We're seeing young children who are trying to cross the border just to reconnect with their parents, and their lives are in danger," Mrs. Obama said. "They're put in precarious situations. And a strong immigration reform policy would help alleviate some of those challenges."

The first lady also said the U.S. should work to reduce its demands for illegal narcotics because it would help Mexico with its drug wars.

Mrs. Obama also spoke with ABC News during her trip.

Mrs. Obama returns to the U.S. today -- to San Diego, for a child obesity event -- completing a foreign trip that began Tuesday with a surprise stop in Haiti to tour earthquake damage.

In Mexico, she visited (and danced) with elementary school children, and gave a speech to college students. She also met with Mexican counterpart Margarita Zavala, as well as President Felipe Calderon.

In her college speech, Mrs. Obama said she would focus her foreign agenda on young people. "All you have to do is believe in yourself," she said.

She should have said,

"We are a nation of laws.

We must have enforcement.

We must have enforcement right now."

She knows her butt is outta 1600 Pennsylania Ave. in 2012 without an amnesty and millions of new socialist voters.

dear michelle

shut up biotch

I would trade in Michelle Obama for Michelle Bachmann any day!

Personally, I don't give a rat's behind what Michelle Obama wants. The people of this country have been waiting since 1986 to have our immigration laws enforced.

Why didn't she say the parents should return home to Mexico to reunite with their children ? Just shows how this admin. WANTS IA's to stay and continue breaking our laws.

BTW I do not approve of calling any woman a Biotch especially our First Lady even if we do disagree with her.

I'm with you on the name calling. We shold all be above that.

Michelle Obama: "Immigration reform is necessary

- to ensure formation of the North American Union, One World Government, and the Globalist Dictatorship."

Oh Michelle, if I could wish anything on anybody, it would be the ability for you to READ. MOST Americans want illegals gone, not rewarded. And yes, Michelle, that includes people that voted for your husband.
