Don't let the Republicans run out the clock.


Talk is cheap. But, to allow needed legislation extend into next year for the sake of a political issue in 2014 is simply wrong. This announcement by President Obama was on June 15, 2012. Two years from that date places The Dreamers outside the impact of this Executive Order long before the November elections. 

The Immigration Reform legislation has to go forward now. I would encourage the USA Senate to write the Immigration Reform Bill and vote to pass it as soon as possible. If President Obama was able to act last year, the Congress should be ready to act as well. 

The elections of November 2014 is too late. It will then only be a carrot and stick measure to entice the minority voter without real resolve.
