On November 20 president Obama announced his executive plan for immigration reform. This reform would affect millions of undocumented people that are currently living in the U.S. allowing them to have deferrals with authorization to work in three year increments.And it would also expand the DACA program- the Differed Action for Childhood Arrivals, this would allow young people who were brought here at a young age to be able to apply for work permits.This plan will be eligible for any child who came to the U.S before January 2010. Meanwhle conservatives of Congress have disagreed with Obama's policy saying he is abusing his executive power, most Americans also dissaprove of the policy or feel a neutral stance to it.

I think Obama is just trying to get an immigration reform done before the end of his presidency so that it could be something he could leave and prove that he actually did. Ever since his election, the immigrant community has been asking for a reform since the start of his first term, and now is just the time for Obama to try to implement something before time runs out.
