Various immigrant groups are exerting intense pressure on President Obama to stop deporting so many undocumented people in the United States. Moreover his decision to put off a sweeping executive action is being reacted to very angrily.
Why is Obama not pushing forward the executive action now? His ploy is visibly transparent – with control of the Senate due for elections by November it is obvious that he does not want to create an embarrassing situation that would rebound against endangered Democrats in conservative states.
But what President Obama should recognize that the issue does not just fall within the purview of election-year politics. If he just waits until after the Elections and goes ahead with the executive order he might, in the process transform an important social initiative into a benign political gimmick, which would not be very fortunate in the long run.
A comprehensive immigration law is desperately needed by the nation – one that would combine a path to legal status for undocumented workers with increased enforcements and reforms to the legal immigration system.
