Obama may finally act on immigration reform – NY Daily News

Forget the Ebola scare and ISIS terrorists; the new big thing is the bitter immigration debate already erupting in Washington around President Obamas apparent decision to exercise executive action.

Yes, it seems the President may have finally found the courage to in the words of Sen. Mitch McConnell wave a red flag in front of a bull and do the right thing by providing administrative relief to millions of undocumented immigrants. How many is still unclear, though probably some 5 million could benefit.

Although the White House has said there is no date set, rumors are flying that an announcement could happen as soon as this week.

Roberto Alvarenga Lovato, a writer and Visiting Scholar, Center for Latino Policy Research at the University of California, Berkeley, thinks something will happen before the years end. Lovato believes the reason for Obamas action if it finally happens is not a newly found benevolence from his administration, but the Democrats need to repair damaged relations with Latinos before the 2016 Presidential elections.

The Presidents plan would allow parents of citizens or legal residents to stay in the country, as well as parents of those undocumented who came to the U.S. as children. More than 4.5 million people would be protected from deportations by this measure.

Also, the dreaded Secure Communities enforcement program responsible for the deportation of hundreds of thousands of immigrants would be scrapped.

Nor surprisingly, Republicans have been throwing a collective temper tantrum since rumors of Obamas decision began to circulate.

The audacity of this President to think he can completely destroy the rule of law with the stroke of a pen is unfathomable to me, said Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) on Thursday.

That, of course, is so much hysterical rhetoric. As Angela Maria Kelley, vice president for immigration policy at the Center for American Progress has explained, executive action is a tried and true component of immigration policy used by 11 Presidents, 39 times in the last 60 years.

Something is certain: a timid, ungenerous action by the President wont cut it with Latinos and the immigrant community.
