Lind, Dara. “How Is President Obama Planning to Reform Immigration Policy through Executive Action?” Vox. Vox Media, 30 Sept. 2014. Web. 2 Oct. 2014. <http://www.vox.com/cards/obama-immigration-executive-action-amnesty-congress/obama-immigration-reform-executive-order-amnesty>.

Reflections/Questions:

This piece is very relatable to me because my parents were both immigrants. Although they are legal, certain things that play into immigration action relates to my family as well. I’d like to get into personal case-by-case immigration stories about various people. Because although the government has set immigration policies, they sometimes implement different policies to people with unique cases.

Notes/Summary:

President Obama has essentially been shut down on his many efforts trying to implement immigration policy. Therefore, President Obama wants to use executive action to help out illegal immigrants. He wants to give relief illegal immigrants from deportation, work authorization, and unauthorized immigrants. President Obama previously tried to help out these people through the DACA, and the Dream Act. Under these programs, certain illegal immigrants were able to stay in the country and work and prevent from getting deported. However, President Obama wants to do more with his immigration policies and essentially wants to introduce many new ways or programs to help illegal immigrants.
