Michelle Obama Caught in Immigration Debate
Second Grader Questioned First Lady Over Immigration as Mexico's President Calderon Slammed Arizona Law
Michelle Obama, who visited New Hampshire Estates Elementary School in Silver Spring, Md., with Mexico's first lady Margarita Zavala, was caught in a headline-grabbing moment when a second-grader shyly raised her hand. She said: My mom "says Barack Obama's taking everybody away that doesn't have papers."
"Yeah, well that's something that we have to work on, right? To make sure that people can be here with the right kind of papers, right? That's exactly right," the first lady responded.
But then, the student quietly added: "But my mom doesn't have any."
"Well, we have to work on that," Mrs. Obama replied. "We have to fix that, and everybody's got to work together in Congress to make sure that happens. That's right."
