During a conference call with Spanish journalists, Leon Rodriguez, a director of United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) said that undocumented immigrants should be able to start applying for deferred action that grant them protection against possible deportation and job permits in February and May.

According to report released by Suzanne Gamboa, a bilingual senior writer for NBCnews.com, USCIS should start the procedure of offering extended DACA action and other immigration actions in February and May. In November, President Obama used his presidential power to come up with some immigration reform action to handle this complex issue.

However, we should not forget that the opponents of Obama are trying every second thing to stop the implementation of this action. Cecilia Muñoz, Obama’s chief domestic policy advisor, told journalists in a phone news seminar for the Latino media: “We are very confident that this is completely legal and it is going to be carried out.”

On November 20, Obama has used his presidential power by announcing some immigration actions with the hope that it will help policymakers to come up with something more concrete agendas and policies to fix our broken immigration action. Not only that, he told in his speech that he welcomes each individual who wants to come to the United States and wish to contribute in a meaningful manner.
