do these protests have an effect on the people who are making decisions? >> i think they do in many ways. i'm not sure they do in the republicans that have already made up their mind. they don't want to see immigration reform as an issue before this next november's elections. but they do, for example, even the president -- i think the president has been very clear recently that he feels the pain of deportations and he wishes that something was done on immigration reform. there's a group called larosa, the largest latino organization in the country, they've been behind him on a lot of efforts including the affordable health care act. and they recently called him deporter in chief. i think that has hurt the president and his message that he is the person who supports immigration reform but can't see it done in the house. i think that does cause him to say well, let me see what i can do if nothing is done by august. maybe i'll have to step forward, even take controversial decisions that right now i'm not willing to take. >> anchor for telemundo's
