　　THEPRESIDENT:

Now,ourbusinessesareresilient.We’vegotgreatworkers.Andso,asaconsequence,weaddedabout200,000newjobslastmonth.Butthere’snoquestionthattheshutdownharmedourjobsmarket.Theunemploymentratestilltickedup.Andwedon’tyetknowallthedataforthisfinalquarteroftheyear,butitcouldbedownbecauseofwhathappenedinWashington.Now,thatmakesnosense.Theseself-inflictedwoundsdon’thavetohappen.Theyshouldnothappenagain.

　　Weshouldnotbeinjuringourselveseveryfewmonths--weshouldbeinvestinginourselves.Weshouldbebuilding,nottearingthingsdown.Ratherthanrefightingthesameoldbattlesagainandagainandagain,weshouldbefightingtomakesureeverybodywhoworkshardinAmericaandhardrighthereinNewOrleans,thattheyhaveachancetogetahead.That’swhatweshouldbefocusedon.（Applause.）

　　WhichbringsmetooneofthereasonsI’mhereatthisport.Oneofthethingsweshouldbefocusedonishelpingmorebusinessessellmoreproductstotherestoftheworld.Andtheonlywaythoseproductsgetoutisthroughfacilitieslikethis.Rightnow,exportsareoneofthebrightestspotsinoureconomy.ThanksinparttonewtradedealsthatwesignedwithcountrieslikePanamaandColombiaandSouthKorea,wenowexportmoregoodsandservicesthaneverbefore.AndthatmeansjobsrighthereintheUnitedStatesofAmerica.

　　Lastyear,every$1billioninexportssupportsnearly5,000jobs,includingjobsrighthereatthisport.Sowe’reworkingonnewtradedealsthatwillmeanmorejobsforourworkers,andmorebusinessforportslikethisone.

　　And,bytheway,whenItravelaroundtheworld,I’moutthereselling.I’llgoanywhereintheworldtomakesurethatthoseproductsstampedwiththosewords,“MadeinAmerica,”thatwecanopenupthosemarketsandsellthemanywhere.（Applause.）

　　SohelpingAmericanbusinessesgrow;creatingmorejobs--thesearenotDemocraticorRepublicanpriorities.Theyareprioritiesthateverybody,regardlessofparty,shouldbeabletogetbehind.Andthat’swhy,inadditiontoworkingwithCongresstogrowourexports,I’veputforwardadditionalideaswhereIbelieveDemocratsandRepublicanscanjointogethertomakeprogressrightnow.

　　Numberone,CongressneedstopassafarmbillthathelpsruralcommunitiesgrowandprotectsvulnerableAmericans.Fordecades,Congressfoundawaytocompromiseandpassfarmbillswithoutfuss.Forsomereason,nowCongresscan’tevengetthatdone.Now,thisisnotsomethingthatjustbenefitsfarmers.PortslikethisonedependonalltheproductscomingdowntheMississippi.Solet’sdotherightthing,passafarmbill.Wecanstartsellingmoreproducts.That’smorebusinessforthisport.Andthatmeansmorejobsrighthere.（Applause.）

　　Numbertwo,weshouldfixourbrokenimmigrationsystem.（Applause.）Thiswouldbegoodforournationalsecurity,butitwouldalsobegoodforoureconomicsecurity.Overthenexttwodecades,itwouldgrowoureconomyby$1.4trillion.Itwouldshrinkourdeficitsbynearlyatrilliondollars.Thisshouldnotbeapartisanissue.PresidentBushproposedthebroadoutlinesofcommon-senseimmigrationreformalmostadecadeago.WhenIwasintheSenate,Ijoined23ofmyRepublicancolleaguestobackthosereforms.Thisyear,theSenatehasalreadypassedabillwithbroadbipartisansupport.
