Thank you. Gracias! (Applause.) Thank you so much. Thank you. Everybody please have a seat. Ah, it is good to be back at NALEO. Qué placer estar...

And it is especially good to have Ambassador Mari Carmen Aponte here with us. We are very proud of her. (Applause.) When the Senate refused to confirm...

Yesterday, your featured speaker came here and said that the election in November isn’t about two people. It's not about being a Republican or a...

Hungry people, striving people, dreamers, risk-takers. People don’t come here looking for handouts. We are a nation of strivers and climbers and...

And I ran for this office because for more than a decade, that dream had been slipping away from too many Americans. Before I even took office, the...

That’s what we have to decide right now. That’s what this election is about. Who are we fighting for? What vision of America do we believe in?

That’s why schools in almost every state -- some in the toughest neighborhoods around -- have answered our challenge to raise their standards for...

In America, we believe you shouldn’t go broke because you get sick. Hardworking people out there -- sometimes two jobs, three jobs -- still don’t...

Now, we’re not done yet. We’ve got more to do. We need to put more good teachers in our classrooms. (Applause.) We need to get colleges and...

We need to give families in hard-hit housing markets like Florida and Nevada the chance to refinance and save $3,000 a year on their mortgage. That's...

On almost every issue of concern to your community, to every community, what’s holding us back isn’t a lack of big ideas. It’s not a lack of...

And that’s it. That's it. That’s their economic plan. When they tell you they can do better, that’s their idea of doing better. When they...

We don’t need more top-down economics. What we need is a better plan for education and training, and energy independence, and innovation, and infrastructure...

I mean, think about it. You and I both know one of America’s greatest strengths has always been our ability to attract talented, hardworking people...

Now, once again, the problem is not the lack of technical solutions. We know what the solutions are to this challenge. Just six years ago, an unlikely...

In the face of a Congress that refuses to do anything on immigration, I’ve said that I’ll take action wherever I can. So my administration has...

I’ve met these young people all across the country. They’re studying in our schools. They’re playing with our children, pledging allegiance...

So to those who are saying Congress should be the one to fix this -- absolutely. For those who say we should do this in a bipartisan fashion -- absolutely....

Yes!

Your speaker from yesterday has a different view. In his speech, he said that when he makes a promise to you, he’ll keep it. Well, he has promised...

On all these issues -- on the investments we need to grow the middle class and leave a better future for our kids, on deficit reduction that’s fair...

That’s what has always moved us forward. It doesn’t start in Washington. It starts with a million quiet heroes who love their country and believe...

But I ran for this office because I am absolutely convinced that what binds us together has always proven stronger than what drives us apart. We are...

They took a chance. And America embraced their drive and embraced their courage -- said, "Come, you’re welcome." This is who we are.

That’s what drives me, in every decision I make, to try and widen the circle of opportunity, to fight for that big and generous and optimistic country...

This fight will not always be easy. It hasn’t always been easy. It will not happen overnight. Our history has been one where that march towards...

God bless you. Thank you, NALEO. (Applause.) God bless the United States of America. (Applause.)
