Millions of undocumented immigrants in the United States will not face deportation thanks to President Obama’s Executive Action. Despite feigned outrage by Congressional Republicans, President Obama does have the authority by use of ‘Prosecutorial Discretion’ to halt deportation.

The President’s Executive Action effectively allows upward of 5 million undocumented immigrants to apply for work permits, require background checks and pay a $500 fine. And, upward of 20,000 undocumented immigrants in and around Charlotte are eligible to stay in the United States. ‘COMMUNITY VOICES’ host, Ron Holland, delves into President Obama’s address to the nation and the specific details of his Executive Action.
