What exactly if going on? We all know this has nothing to do with immigration reform. The only groups affected and abusing our system are from Mexico and Central America. Immigrants from other countries are never mentioned as a problem or being here illegally. We all know this is more about preserving a voting block for Democrats than anything else. The fact is the U.S. needs immigrants, it was built by immigrants, it must be sustained by immigrants. It needs immigrants skilled in the STEM disciplines and it needs unskilled workers as well, but it needs both within a legal, well managed and fairly applied system.
Saturday’s announcement was immediately blasted by immigration groups that have been pressing the White House to “go big.” Officials at the Service Employees International Union, one of the strongest supporters of changing the immigration system, said they were “deeply disappointed but not paralyzed.” Arturo Carmona, executive director of Presente.org, a group that supports legalizing undocumented immigrants, called the delay “shameful.” “The president’s latest broken promise is another slap in the face of the Latino and immigrant community,” said Cristina Jimenez, managing director for United We Dream, a group of young undocumented immigrants pushing for an end to deportations. “Where we have demanded leadership and courage from both Democrats and the president, we’ve received nothing but broken promises and a lack of a political backbone. To wait nine more weeks means the president has agreed to deport more than 70,000 people, more than 1,100 every day, and continues cementing his legacy as the deporter-in-chief.” via Obama delays action on changes to immigration system.
