Our country’s immigration laws are broken, yet The Congress has repeatedly failed to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Many states realize they will benefit economically if foreign nationals who have been residing for many years in our communities can step forward, be identified and fingerprinted, pay a fine and obtain a temporary work permit and a drivers license (with insurance). President Obama’s executive action would at least allow this for parents of U.S. citizen and of permanent resident children.
