It seems like most articles are a rehash of the article posted by the OP. One thing that these articles have in common, and which always catches my attention, is the forecast being made about the group of undocumented immigrants that will benefit from the upcoming EO. A large portion of these articles suggest that parents of USC are the group most likely to be the one to benefit from the EO. What is interesting is that many of these articles implicitly imply that “immigration advocates” are trying to push Obama to choose this specific group to be the beneficiaries of his EO. Yet, not many of the articles mention which immigration advocates they are talking about or if these advocates have the ability to influence the president’s decision. Since I don’t know much about politics, I’m wondering if those of you who follow politics know if there is some group of immigration advocates that is actively trying to get the president to target a specific group with his EO and who also have a true potential to influence the president on the matter?

Maybe I’m not used to news articles, but a lot of the times it seems like the people who write news articles just reiterate what everyone else is saying without adding anything new or useful.
