"  Now that Congress has voted to end the shutdown, President Barack Obama is pushing them to move forward with immigration reform. His hopes are for it to pass by the end of the year. A bill was passed in June, but has since been put to a halt and has yet to be passed in the House.  &amp;quot;There are things that we know will help strengthen our economy that we could get done before this year is out,&amp;quot; Obama said in a statement Wednesday night. &amp;quot;We still need to pass a law to fix our broken immigration system. We still need to pass a farm bill. And with the shutdown behind us and budget committees forming, we now have an opportunity to focus on a sensible budget that is responsible, that is fair, and that helps hardworking people all across this country.&amp;quot; We&amp;#039;re not sure this is going to happen. Republicans in the House have vowed to not pass a bill that offers undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship. Republicans make up the majority of the House. In the meantime, immigration advocates have taken a radical approach by chaining themselves to buses carrying immigrants, with hopes of spreading the word to get this bill to finally pass. Let&amp;#039;s hope these efforts make a different ASAP!! Follow Ariel on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
