[Bluebear]

How does spending $600 million on unmanned drones and border guards "help his administration" "move toward" an "overhaul" of immigration laws?

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--President Barack Obama said a $600 million measure passed by Congress Thursday to boost border security will help his administration move toward a broader overhaul of the country's immigration laws.

"The resources made available through this legislation will build upon our successful efforts to protect communities along the Southwest border and across the country," he said. He added that "These steps will make an important difference as my administration continues to work with Congress toward bipartisan :party: comprehensive immigration reform to secure our borders, and restore responsibility and accountability to our broken immigration system."
