President Obama: Executive Action for Immigration Reform

President Obama recently announced that he would be taking executive action on immigration reform. His policy reform will give respite to 4 million undocumented immigrants in danger of deportation, as well as overhauling the country's immigration system. The president plans to put even more effort into cutting down illegal immigration along the nation's boarders---there are already 3,000 additional border patrol agents stationed along the southwest border and fencing, drone and ground surveillance has more than doubled since 2008---target those who compromise national security and public safety, hold undocumented immigrants accountable with criminal background checks and taxes, increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the immigration court system, and protect the victims of crime, human trafficking, and exploitative labor. 

Below is the Presidential Address that Obama gave November 20th, on immigration reform through executive action.
