Obama administration officials met in Los Angeles on Friday with Mayor Eric Garcetti, local nonprofits and business owners to discuss ways to encourage immigrants to become U.S. citizens.
"To launch forward we must return to our core values as Americans and even in these tough times strive to embrace our role as a nation of immigrants, a nation of dreamers, a nation of hope," Garcetti said on Twitter about the meeting, which was closed to the public.
The 4 1/2-hour meeting in City Hall was part of a multi-city tour by the White House's Task Force on New Americans, which the administration previewed in a call with reporters Thursday.
Julie Chavez Rodriguez, senior deputy director in the White House Office of Public Engagement, said Friday's meeting will allow federal officials and members of Garcetti's staff to coordinate with local leaders in business, nonprofit and community organizations. It also focused on how the federal government can make it easier for new citizens to integrate into life as Americans, according to the White House.
"Starting in California is a perfect kickoff from our perspective," she said.
In recent years, California has moved repeatedly to provide rights, benefits and protections to immigrants in the country illegally, including in-state tuition, driver's licenses, rules to limit deportations and state-funded healthcare for children.
Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Jose have signed on to participate in the task force, as have cities in 25 other states.
Chavez Rodriguez praised several California efforts, including the partnership between U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Los Angeles Public Library system to create "citizenship corners" at every branch and hold citizenship classes.

Yes, this is aimed at prepping ‘coaches’ and ‘navigators’ in the manner of ACORN to get illegals on the voter rolls for this November.
Illegals are being told to say they have been in the USA for more than 5 years making them immediately eligible to become citizens and to vote.
As soon as SCOTUS rules to remove the preliminary injunction on Executive Amnesty for millions of illegals, the paperwork and data entry that is in preparation now will be processed to put millions and millions on voter rolls in critical swing states.
Obama is now announcing to democrats wherever he goes that democrats will win in November.
“Do your vow to vote Democrat?”
“Si.”
“Allahu Akbar!”
“Whatever. You are now voters.”
Didn’t a judge put the kibosh on this?
Apparently not a big enough one...
Agreed.
Dear Democrats,
Es mi partido, ahora, bee-auches.
They are waving the requirement to take the test in English.
This makes me so furious, there are no words.
Meanwhile, I’m surrounded by illegals here in crook county, they swarm like the roaches they are - little sanctuary cities everywhere!
