Justino Mora, 22, an undocumented computer science student at UCLA in Los Angeles was recently interviewed on KNBC channel 4 news.  Justino was brought to the US as a child illegally by his parents, and he has lived with the worry of a very possible threat of deportation most of his lifetime, his worry is for his family as well as himself.  You see, the USA is the only country he has remembers as he was very young when he was taken from Mexico and brought to the US.  Here he has spent his entire childhood, speaks fluent English and hasn’t any real memory of Mexico. 

For all intents and purposes, Justino Mora is an American.

And the recent decision made by President Obama to loosen the immigration policy, it has now given promise of legal immigration for Justino Mora and all young Mexican American children who have grown up in this country.  These children are caught in the middle of a political debate, in a country where many have never committed a single crime.  Their only crime is that which they were brought to this country illegally, and by no choice of their own.  Many of these children have now grown to be fine young men and women, in many cases working hard to achieve a greater education than that which their parents have had.  An education to better prepare them as they continue to plan and hope to someday give back to the only country of that which they know as a legitimate US Citizen.

Although much good will surely come from this decision to accept, legalize and validate these young men and women who have been already within the United States of America for most of their lives.

Many are opposed to this US President’s recent decision for various reasons, some obvious and some are not so obvious.  Many Americans are up in arms and feel that a single US President has appointed himself with the power to essentially make a decision to change a policy that will potentially affect all US Citizens in one way or another, by waiving their voting rights.

The voting process was instilled by the forefathers of the United States of America and their predecessors.  This process has been upheld with the notion that “every vote counts” and has been utilized for centuries as a sacred right of all Americans and their ancestors.

Therefore for a single man or US President, to assume the power to make such a decision alone, and essentially speak for all citizens of the United States of America, men and women alike, without consulting any single one of them first, is as if he has taken it upon himself to waive their right to vote for or against such a policy, and such an action by President Obama is therefore, ultimately infringing upon the Citizens of the United States constitutional rights.  Therefore, many feel as if they have no voice.
