President Obama Announces New Steps to Fix Our Broken Immigration System

a) What is he going to do?

 First, he is going to build on their progress at the border with additional resources for their law enforcement personnel. So that they can stem the flow of illegal crossings, and speed the return of those who do cross over. Second, he will make it easier and faster for high-skilled immigrants, graduates and entrepreneurs to stay and contribute to their economy, as so many business leaders have proposed. Third, they will take steps to deal responsibly with the millions of undocumented immigrants who already live in their country.

b) How can he do this without Congress's blessing?

He can do this because in some cases the president can do things without the Congress’s blessing.

 c) What is an American according to Obama?

What makes you an American is the shared commitment to an ideal. That all of them is created equal, and all of them have the chance to make of their lives how they want to. Being an American is about more than what you look like, what you last names are, or what you worship.

d) What does Obama urge the House of Representatives to do?

He wants them to pass a bill. He wants to work with both parties to pass a more permanent legislative solution. And the day he sign that bill into law, the actions he takes will no longer be necessary.

 e) What is your stand to the issue; do you think Congress will pass the bill soon? Give reasons for your opinion.

I am not sure if the Congress will pass the bill, but I hope so. Because I support what Obama said and I think it will work out fine, even though it will be expensive. It sounds like a good system, that will help America.
