MICHIGAN — Progress Michigan released the following statement regarding President Barack Obama’s announcement regarding executive action on immigration.

Michigan can only reach its full potential when every Michigander feels safe and welcomed, which is what we fight for every day at Progress Michigan. We applaud the President’s decision to act and we urge Congress to follow the President’s lead on the issue and pass comprehensive immigration reform.”
