"US President Barack Obama is to call for reform of the US immigration system in a speech in Texas.
Although Congress is seen as unlikely to enact a major overhaul, aides say Mr Obama remains committed to the issue.
Immigration reform is of particular importance to the growing Hispanic electorate, which leans Democratic and whose continued support Mr Obama will need in his 2012 re-election bid.
An estimated 11m illegal immigrants, most of them Hispanic, live in the US.
In El Paso, a Texas border city, Mr Obama is expected to tout measures he has taken to tighten border security while discussing the economic necessity of immigration reform, White House spokesman Jay Carney said."
