Article Body: 

In his weekly radio address on Saturday, President Barack Obama said the government shutdown needed to end so Congress could work on comprehensive immigration reform [amnesty for illegal aliens].

Obama rejected a House Republican proposal that would have re-opened the government and raised the debt-ceiling for six-weeks in return for an agreement on a "framework" on negotiations on more long-term budgetary issues. He said "this Republican shutdown" had to end "because there is so much else we should be focusing our energies on right now" and cited immigration as one of the things the government had to "fix."...

Obama has recently said that comprehensive immigration reform was his "number-one priority."...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said even piecemeal bills that passed the House would go to conference with the Senate, where many believe the pathway to citizenship [amnesty] provision would be inserted into a final bill. That is why Pelosi said Democrats were willing to do "whatever it takes" to get to conference.
