congress, signed by the president. ideally in a nationally televised ceremony attended by the country's wide spectrum of leaders left to right. and the way the national policy is supposed to be established. that would be the american way to do something like this. by its nature, it would require compromise. by those who don't think anyone who comes here illegally should ever be legal and the pro immigration forces. you'd have to be here legally. you'd have to be who you say you are. getting a new immigration law accepted and enforced sure beats what's coming, more anger, more illegal immigration. and this is not how we passed the civil rights act. that was passed by strong bipartisan support. this action by the president is supported according to a new nbc "wall street journal" poll by less than a third of the american people. and that's, of course, a reason not to do it but it is a reason to push the opponents on what they want to do. that's what i'm hoping for, a clear-cut out in the open national discussion where bo

and what i also said at the time was if, in fact, congress, if this congress could not get something done that i would take further executive actions in order to make the system work better, understanding that any bill that they pass will supplant the executive actions that i take. i just want to reemphasize this, major. if, in fact, there is a great eagerness on the part of republicans to tackle a broken immigration system, then they have every opportunity to do it. my executive actions not only do not prevent them from passing a law that supersedes those actions but should be a surge for them to get something done. i'm prepared to engage them every step of the way with their ideas. i think we should have further broad-based debate among the american people. as i said before, i do think that the episode with the unaccompanied children changed a lot of attitudes. i think what may also change a lot of attitudes is when the public now realizes that was a temporary and isolated event and that, in fact, we have fewer illegal immigrants coming in today than we did five years ago, 10 years
