Sometime soon. I hope very soon. maybe even this Friday. the President of the United States is going to announce his Executive order. He is going to say that. as he did with DACA. the Deferred Action Program. he is going to give more undocumented people in this country a chance. It will be a narrow category. not as broad as we would like itat least some of us would like itbut it will be consistent with what every President of the United States has done since President Eisenhower. It is fair. It is just. It recognizes our birthright as Americans. as a nation of immigrants. It says we are willing to stand and fight for fairness. I would hopeI would just hope that a few Republicans will stand and acknowledge this. I hope a few of them will join us in a bipartisan recognition that our broken immigration system cannot be fixed if the Congress of the United Statesparticularly the Republican Houserefuses to even call the bill for a year and a half. Instead. the President is using his authority and doing the best he can to make this Nation of immigrants proud again that we are welcoming a new generation of people who will make us even stronger in the future.
