MSNBC: Immigration Activists Already Upset Obama Amnesty Doesn’t Go Far Enough

REID: “We just were looking at NBC/Wall Street journal poll a part of which has been released this morning, showing that 48 percent of Americans disapprove of the idea of the president taking executive action, 38 percent approving of it. When you’re talking with people who might actually be affected by this, break down just a little of the reactions, because one of the key things that Chris Jansing mentioned was not including the parents of DREAMers in any executive action reform. What’s the response to that?”
SAKUMA: “You know, the breakdown of that pool — that poll there was very much along party lines. It was mainly Republicans who responded, saying they were against these measures. But this is a major concern for many of the supporters who have been pressing for a very broad and very large actions from the president. Many DREAMers who were given these benefits under DACA aren’t able to see their parents get the same type of benefits, which has been a sticking point for many of these groups. They’re here on Capitol Hill today, kind of  pressing the issue with lawmakers who could possibly put this executive action in jeopardy.”
