Obama will speak Thursday on immigration reform

President Barack Obama will deliver an address on comprehensive immigration reform in Washington on Thursday.

Obama will speak at American University in northwest Washington following a week in which he's met with key constituencies in the immigration debate.

Obama will speak at noon Thursday "on the need to fix our broken immigration system through comprehensive immigration reform," according to a White House announcement.

The president met this week with immigration activists and members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to discuss the prospects for reform this year, too.
