On November the 5th, 2014, former president of the United States, Barack Obama, gave a nationwide speech on national immigration. In the speech he discusses the problems of the American immigration system, and what he, as the president, wants to change. Afterward, Obama addresses what he thinks the solution is to this problem. Obama Speaks to the whole nation, as he starts his speech by saying “My fellow Americans, tonight, I’d like to talk with you about immigration”.
