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.

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.

Trump was sharply critical of the 2011 Alabama immigration law designed to promote self-deportation in calling it "crazy" and "maniacal." What changed in 2015 when Trump called for large scale deportation of illegal immigrants during the presidential campign is not clear. Two other developments happened since the Alabama law- the U.S. economy had largely recovered from the worst effects of the recession and immigration from Mexico was down to low levels, a trickle not seen in a long time as a result of the recession. A third development was that President Obama had pursued a policy of aggressive deportation in his years in office followed by an executive order on immigration late in the second term granting illegal immigrants a pathway to citizenship.

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.

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.
