Ahead of President Obama's speech on immigration, Southern California Public Radio's Washington Correspondent Kitty Felde shares the latest.

We don't know exactly what the President will be saying Thursday night, but it is sure to set off a political fire storm.

Obama has said repeatedly that he needs to take action due to Congress' lack of movement on immigration.

Republican leaders say the president is going too far.
