Obama Plans to Avert 5 Million Deportations, Officials say

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/11/14/us/obama-immigration.html

WASHINGTON — President Obama will ignore angry protests from Republicans and announce as soon as next week a broad overhaul of the nation’s immigration enforcement system that will protect up to five million undocumented immigrants from the threat of deportation and provide many of them with work permits, according to administration officials who have direct knowledge of the plan.

Asserting his authority as president to enforce the nation’s laws with discretion, Mr. Obama intends to order changes that will significantly refocus the activities of the government’s 12,000 immigration agents. One key piece of the order, officials said, will allow many parents of children who are American citizens or legal residents to obtain legal work documents and no longer worry about being discovered, separated from their families and sent away.

I believe once Hispanics and Asians become the major of the US population the current race problems will go away since those two ethnic groups were not involved in racist past history of slavery and civil rights movements involving blacks and whites.
