Some praise Biden's action, others say it's not enough
Some praise Biden's action, others say it's not enoughPresident Joe Biden gave a speech today, revealing new executive actions to further his immigration plan. It has drawn mixed reaction in Chicago.For the past 22 years, Doris Aguirre has carried with her the fear of being sent back to Honduras, even though, the 57-year-old's husband is a United States citizen, and so is one of their daughters. But, like millions of workers, Aguirre came to the U.S. without a visa.
President Biden's election year move also offers some help to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program recipients, known as "Dreamers." The announcement is bittersweet for "Dreamer" Alondra Segura, who does not have a college degree, but the 22-year-old does own two businesses. Segura, Aguirre and community activist Pastor Emma Lozano say Biden's announcement does not go far enough.
