President Obama marked Cinco de Mayo on Thursday with a gathering at the White House. Speaking to attendees, Obama urged immigrant rights activists to mobilize for immigration reform.

President Obama: “I want to work with Republicans and Democrats to protect our borders, to enforce our laws, and also to address the status of millions of undocumented workers. I want to sign the DREAM Act into law. I’m going to need your help. We’ve got to keep doing the hard work of changing minds and changing hearts and changing votes, one at a time. But all of you are going to be out there, and you’re going to have to help make this happen.”
