Immigration for someone who are refuge or people who lived in the poor nations for them to get a visa to come to America is a dream come true like winning a million dollars lottery. America is a land of opportunity and to make their living standard better, people come to America with hope that they make more money and help their family. For me when President Obama's announced his executive action that protects millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation. He help millions family not to separated from each other and even help undocumented immigrants who work for low wages. Main things those undocumented immigrants will work by rules and pay their fair tax to government and get right by the laws as President mention. 
As for me my parents they are refugee and I was born in India and I am so ever grateful to the Indian government for helping Tibetan people and than in 1999 when Bill Clinton was President, he allow 1000 Tibetan refugee to come to America and my sister was one among the thousand people. And from my point of view, it really help us compare to life we lived in India and life that we lived here in America not only that we pay and follow all the rules and regulation and even we get to help our cousin who still lived in India and I helped one of my cousin with college fees and rent and I am so grateful to America and now I can proudly say am an American citizen.Back home in India I won't be able to do any of that.
"You must meet strict requirements to qualify for relief from deportation"
"If you commit fraud, you will not qualify"
I completely agree with President Obama what he said, for me if you want to lived your life here in America you have to follow the laws and obey the rules, so we all can live in peaceful life with no threat in the future. Obama's doing all this to help family lived together and stop the company who are exploiting the undocumented immigrants by hiring for low wages and also help the United States by getting paid from extra 5 millions people.
On today news 17 States sue Obama for executive order on immigration and for which I strongly disagree and they shouldn't do that, they should at least think of family who are not getting separated if not for anything else. I think Republican should work together with Obama's executive action rather than Funding shutdown
South India,where I lived and finished my school so I am going to write about how different we lived our life even though,its only 6 miles walking distance. I lived in a house with electricity and water but electricity and water are not 24 hours, during day time we have light for half day and everyday at 6pm we have light but its not bright, after 10pm than lights are brighter and water we get every morning at 6am to sometime till 8am, usually its an hour and half and people do get up early to get water and store in empty buckets or tank. That's my childhood life and am blessed with all this. We have school till 10th grade and then you go outside for further study depends on our parents financial situation.
