Obama turns to immigration reform - 25 Jun 09

Barack Obama, the US president, is taking steps to tackle immigration reform at a meeting of congressional leaders, in the hope of changing the country's immigration laws.

But with so much already on the president's agenda, can he press forward with new legislation?
