New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants the presidential candidates to get serious about immigration reform.

Taking his immigration reform push on tour, Bloomberg stopped in Chicago and Boston this week, where he made high-profile appearances with News Corporation CEO Rupert Murdoch and President Barack Obama’s former chief of staff Bill Daley, calling on the presidential candidates to debate the issue and offer detailed proposals.
