Obama Meets With Latino Celebrities on Immigration Reform and The Dream Act:

April 29, 2011 | Posted by: Admin under Immigration News

President Obama met with Latino celebrities this week on the issue of immigration reform in a Celebrity Round table session.  As reported on April 28, 2011 by Julie Mason of Politico 44,  The President stated that it will take an act of Congress to bring immigration reform and that he can not instigate immigration reform on his own.  Among the immigration issues discussed were reintroducing the “Dream Act” and mitigating “Enforcement Only” immigration policies. 

In my opinion, immigration will continue to be a heated political issue and will define the next Presidential and Congressional elections.  It is really sad that politics is  continuing to delay our needed immigration reform such as passage of the Dream Act and an Amnesty program.  The lives and futures of hardworking a talented people, especially children and young adults, are being placed on hold while politicians continue to distort the issues on the right while many politicians on the left are too afraid to commit on immigration issues.  I firmly believe that those of us who realize the current injustice of our immigration system must become much more vocal and active in order to compete with the disproportionate and short sighted opponents of immigrants and immigration reform.
