(WXYZ) - It’s a sign that Washington is ready to act on something together.
Four Democrats and four Republicans came together and issued a call to action for immigration reform. There are 11 million undocumented immigrants living and working in America and during the presidential election, many of them made it clear they wanted a leader in the White House who would make a difference for immigrants.
The president will weigh in on this new plan tomorrow.
