Channel8 is doing a food drive our partner locations for the drive sudden impact auto body today marks the fourth anniversary of the deferred action for childhood arrivals plan, president Barack Obamas executive order that allows kids brought to the country illegally to stay without fear of deportation. Christianne Klein democratic lawmakers held a News Conference to criticize their republican rivals over the issue,b directly benefit from reform. Dave Courvoisier reviewjournal columnist and politicsnow cohost Steve Sebelius was at that News Conference and is here with more. Steve . Steve Sebelius victoria ruiz turns 20 this week, but she came to the United States when she was just eight years old from an impoverished part of mexico. She returned to her home country in 2011 to deal with a family tragedy, but on the way back, she and her mom got separated. Victoria made it back to the United States, but her mom get a drivers license or apply for jobs with her friends when she turned 16, victoria has had to live with the ups and downs of hope and disappointment as congress has debated the issue back and forth. no kids should be separated from [their] parents. So its definitely frustrating because we work so hard to get our Community Involved and for daca to have been stalled, for that bill to be invalidated and now they are no longer able to get that form of relief to know that they will not be deported over night to know that they will not be separated m frustrating, a very frustrating experience. Steve Sebelius democrats at todays News Conference jacky rosen, running for the 3rd congressional district, state senator ruben kihuen running for the fourth and Catherine Cortez masto running for us senate all pledged theyd work for comprehensive immigration reform. But it may not be that easy republicans in the house refused to take up a Bipartisan Senate bill passed in 2013. In fact, they didnt even party. Thats what led president obama to sign daca in the first place in 2014. Hillary clinton may have promised to introduce a bill in her first 100 days, or use executive power even more than obama has, but shes still got to deal with congress and the courts, which struck down an expansion of the program this year. I asked cortez masto, nevadas former attorney general, if raising hopes wasnt somewhat cruel in light of the fierce opposition from many who almost universally say we should first before turning to the issue of what to do with immigrants already here. theres no guarantees, but you have to start with that hope. You have to really start with figuring out whats at stake. And to me you gotta start somewhere.
