Washington (CNN) - The immigration system in America is broken, but the pressure of a larger political movement is needed to repair it, said President Barack Obama on Monday.
"The idea of doing things for myself is very tempting. I promise, not only on immigration reform. But that's not how our system works. This is not how our democracy. This is not how our constitution is written" Obama said in the National Council of La Raza annual conference.
"Let's be honest, I need a dance partner here, and the floor is empty," he added, referring to the need for bipartisan support in Congress to pass an immigration reform measure.
