Harold Meyerson compares the continuing inhumanity of separating parents from children that president Obama has to face with the choice presented to Lt. Colonel Jager at the Berlin Wall in 1989. Jager decided to let both parents visiting West Germany to return to East Germany to their children, even though the father had a stamp on his passport banning a return. He says the Republican control of Congress could last till 2023 by which time current law would have separated millions of parents and children. In 2012 about 13% of schoolchildren in California and Texas had an undocumented immigrant as a parent, according to the Pew Research Center. And for the last 6 years of the Obama administration deportations have reached 400,000 a year, leading to a lot of broken families.
How Democrats plan to sell U.S. president Obama's executive order on immigration
11/19/2014
The Democrats are likely to sell it this way- currently illegal immigrants are not accountable for having violated laws, not paid taxes and not undergone background checks for security. The executive order provides for accountability by having the illegal immigrants subject to background checks, paying back taxes, and not being eligible for subsidies such as Obamacare, food stamps and welfare payments. It is also supported by an NBC poll that show 74% of Americans support a pathway to citizenship if backtaxes are paid and security checks are done. Republicans will turn to the poll that shows only 38% of the public approves this being done by executive order, with Democrats responding that this is not possible with Republicans blocking any action on immigration and not coming up with a plan to tackle the issues.

President Obama's executive order on immigration on Nov. 20, 2014 and the risks for Republicans and Democrats
11/19/2014
Polls show only 38% approve of tackling the whole immigration issue by executive decree. For Republicans the risk is of overreaction- shutting down the government or not supporting some aspects of changes in immigration laws. Senators Portman and Paul Rand, Republican presidential candidates favor a careful response, and Hispanic Republican leaders support such action. President Reagan declared an amnesty for illegal immigrants in 1986, with support in both parties. There are about 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. in 2014.

The Obama administration's amnesty for 1 million young illegal immigrants in 2012
08/04/2012
An effort by the Obama administration to energize its Hispanic base ahead of the presidential elections in 2012 includes granting amnesty to about 1 million young illegal immigrants in 2012. The move comes in August 2012, only 3 months ahead of a tight presidential race during a period of high unemployment that hurts the incumbent president. It also comes at a time of widespread disillusionment among Hispanics about the failure of the Obama administration to give priority to immigration reforms.

What polls show on immigration action in Nov. 2014- only 39% approve legal status for illegal immigrants, 60% approve a pathway to citizenship
11/19/2014
As President Obama moves to make an executive order to tackle immigration isues, polls show a conflicted American public. By about a 8-10 percentage margin the public and voters oppose legal status for illegal immigrants. By contrast 60% favor some sort of pathway for illegal immigrants, and 74% favor this if backtaxes are paid. Experts say this may suggest the public sees legal status and especially citizenship citizenship as something that should be earned.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
