Cornel West and Barack Obama at 2007 fundraiser

Those fighting for immigration reform have a "friend" in the White House, declared a socialist activist who is an ally and recent adviser to President Obama.

"Yes, we got a friend in the White House," stated Cornel West, an extremist race-relations professor at Princeton University. West was speaking at last week's Rally for Immigration Reform Now in Washington, D.C.

Continued West: "But sometimes you got to put pressure on your friend. You've got to remind him of what he said. You've got to remind him that the campaign is one thing and the governing is something else."

West told a crowd reported at tens of thousands that he comes from "a people who didn't come here voluntarily. Oh yeah. I come from a people that came on the slave ships. I come from a people who have been lynched in the South and degraded in the North."

"But I bring the message to say that I love you, too," he added. "I am here with you, too. We gonna fight for justice. ... Immigration reform now!"
