In video released by the Service Employees
International Union, Biden tells activists, quote, "We are going
to win this."
White House spokesman Jay Carney says Biden's visit reflects
President Barack Obama's views. The White House says Biden
prayed with the activists for immigration legislation and
listened to why they're fasting.
The group organizing the fast, Fast for Families, wants the
House to vote on an immigration overhaul that's already passed
the Senate.
Biden and President Barack Obama have sought to keep a spotlight
on that bill and the need to fix immigration laws even though
the bipartisan Senate deal stalled in the House.
