Obama 'confident' about immigration reform in a second term
Davenport, Iowa (CNN) - New details of President Barack Obama's plans for a second term were given in an off-the-record interview with the Des Moines Register Tuesday but made public only after the paper protested that leaving it private would be a disservice to Iowa voters.
In the interview, Obama said he is confident his administration will pass immigration reform and achieve the equivalent of a grand bargain with Congress.
"I'm confident we'll get done next year is immigration reform," Obama said in the transcript of the interview posted online by the paper. <b>"And since this is off the record, I will just be very blunt. Should I win a second term, a big reason I will win a second term is because the Republican nominee and the Republican Party have so alienated the fastest-growing demographic group in the country, the Latino community."
"So I am fairly confident that they're going to have a deep interest in getting that done," he added.
