It would continue to strengthen security at our borders and hold employers more accountable if they knowingly hire undocumented workers.
It would provide a pathway to earn citizenship for the 11 million individuals who are already living in this country illegally.
And it would modernize our legal immigration system so that we're able to reunite families and attract the highly-skilled entrepreneurs and engineers who will help create good paying jobs and grow our economy.
These are all commonsense steps that the majority of Americans support. So there's no reason that immigration reform can't become a reality this year.
In the meantime, I'll keep working with our neighbors on our common security and our common prosperity. Millions of Americans earn a living right now because of the trade between our nations. And after this week, I'm as confident as ever that we can build on our shared heritage and values to open more markets for American businesses and create more jobs for American workers.
Thanks and have a great weekend.这将继续增强我们边境的安全，让雇主们对自己雇佣的非法移民也会更加负责任。这将为已经在这个国家生活的1100万非法移民，提供赢得公民身份的途径，这将使我们的合法移民体系现代化；因此，我们能够团结更多的家庭，吸引高技能的企业家和工程师，他们将帮助创造优质的就业岗位和发展经济，这是大多数美国人所支持的常识性措施，因此，完全有理由将这些移民改革措施在今年内变为现实；同时，我将继续和我们的邻国在共同安全和共同繁荣方面合作。当前，数百万美国人靠国家间贸易谋生。本周之后，我会像之前一样自信，相信我们能够在共同的传统和价值观上为美国经济打开更多的市场，为美国工人创造更多的就业机会。谢谢大家，周末快乐！
