Immigration Reform Promises

President Obama will “make good” on his promise to implement executive actions to address problems with the immigration system by the end of the year, press secretary Josh Earnest said Sunday. The president had initially pledged to take unilateral action on immigration by the end of the summer, but the White House announced earlier this month that he would hold off until after the midterm elections.White House officials have said Obama was concerned that moving before the midterm elections would make reform a partisan issue and polarize support against it, although the move was widely seen as a concession to Senate Democrats who were locked in tough reelection battles and begged Obama to hold off.The delay has bred new concerns among immigration activists that the president will not ever take the executive action. President Obama had promised he was going to do something good for all the immigrants here, for them to be legal here. Not only would be something really good for the immigrants but for the government as well. Having legal people could open an opportunity for both parties. In more wealth for the country and a better way of life for the immigrants. Both sides win if President Obama was to do what he had promised.
