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.

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.
