Why Administrative Relief?
Undocumented youth, the immigrant community and supporters were hopeful that the recent announcements by President Obama and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would bring relief to DREAM Act-eligible youth by putting an end to their deportations. However, due to programs like Secure Communities and 287g, and the lack of a clear mechanism of implementation, the numbers of undocumented youth who are incarcerated, shackled and deported to countries they barely know continues to rise.
The issue of immigration continues to be a top priority for Latino voters. President Obama needs to prove to Latino voters his support for DREAM Act -eligible youth by taking action and make use of his executive power to protect undocumented youth from deportation and provide them with the opportunity to apply for work authorization.
