SAN ANTONIO -- Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama said that immigration should not be used as "a political football."

The Illinois Senator addressed a rally in a heavily Hispanic neighborhood in San Antonio Tuesday.

Obama said security of the border has to be combined with a pathway to citizenship for people who are already in America.

Obama and Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton will be debate Thursday night in Austin.

The Texas primaries are March 4.

Obama is expected to hold a rally Tuesday night in Houston's 19,000-seat Toyota Center.
