Change Takes Courage!

 
Julia Mason on Politico.com reports that a coalition of immigration activists and lawmakers has challenged Obama to use his executive powers to change U.S. immigration policy. The campaign, called Change Takes Courage, consists of a series of events nationwide.

According to the campaign’s website, the Change Takes Courage Campaign is urging President Obama to keep families together by:

1.  Ending the deportations of parents of citizen children, DREAM-eligible youth and military veterans;

2.  Discontinuing ICE programs that undermine the public safety of all communities;

3.  Strengthening protections for all workers.

Sounds like some folks have gotten tired of the Obama administration’s “enforcement now, enforcement forever” strategy (with the — perhaps empty — promise of comprehensive immigration reform someday).
