The End to the American Dream?

According to msnbc and Amanda Sakuma, president Obama will have to wait another year before his Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), also called his executive action on immigrationwill be implemented. In February 26 states, with Texas in the lead, brought Obama's plans to court, and by June both the district and appeals court have decided against the Obama administration. Obama is frustrated, but still convinced that his executive action to protect millions of undocumented immigrants will prevail before he is out of office. However, since these programs are an executive action and not a law, the next man or woman living in the White House can erase the action with a stroke of a pen. If the new president is a Democrat s/he will support Obama's plan; if s/he is a Republican on the other hand, there will be no more DAPA or DACA. According to a poll made by msnbc, "63% of all Republican voters view immigrants of all stripes as a burden who generally compete for jobs, housing and health care."Watch Changing America to put your finger on the American people's pulse on the issue.
