Local leaders react to Obama's immigration plan | |
November 21, 2014 Elected leaders representing the suburbs and state reacted to President Obama's speech Thursday that spares roughly 5 million people in the United States illegally from deportation. Obama's executive order protects those who have been in the country illegally for more than five years and have had children here who are U.S. citizens. Congressional Democrats hailed the president's directive, but Republicans have insisted Obama is overstepping his authority. Source: http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20141120/news/141129699/ |
