Obama to meet with incoming Mexican president

President Obama will meet next week with Mexican President-elect Enrique Pena Nieto, with one of the topics likely to be possible changes to U.S. immigration law.

Congressional Republicans say they are more amenable to a comprehensive immigration bill in light of the recent election in which GOP candidates fared poorly.

Obama says he wants an immigration bill that will provide a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who are already in the country, as well as tighter border security.

Here is the White House announcement on next week's U.S.-Mexico meeting;

"President Obama will host President-elect Enrique Pena Nieto of Mexico at the White House on Tuesday, November 27.

"The president looks forward to meeting President-elect Pena Nieto and hearing about his vision for leading Mexico over the next six years.

"They plan to discuss a broad range of bilateral, regional and global issues during their Oval Office meeting. The president welcomes the opportunity to underscore the shared values and strong bonds of friendship between the United States and Mexico.

"The United States remains committed to work in partnership with Mexico to increase economic competitiveness in both countries, promote regional development, advance bilateral efforts to develop a secure and efficient 21st Century Border, and address our common security challenges."
