    By Pei He, Monterey Institute of International Studies

I firmly believe that my constant thirst for knowledge, high regard for the work in the biomedical and public health fields, and my courageousness will drive my graduate studies and help me achieve personal and professional success.

  • Obama Demands Action by Congress on Immigration Reform in Rose Garden Speech

    REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
    ON BORDER SECURITY AND IMMIGRATION REFORM
    Rose Garden

    3:04 P.M. EDT

    THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody. One year ago this month, senators of both parties –- with support from the business, labor, law enforcement, faith communities –- came together to pass a commonsense immigration bill.

    Independent experts said that bill would strengthen our borders, grow our economy, shrink our deficits. As we speak, there are enough Republicans and Democrats in the House to pass an immigration bill today. I would sign it into law today, and Washington would solve a problem in a bipartisan way.
