YWCA Statement on Executive Action on Immigration


We applaud President Obama for taking bold executive action on immigration reform. We are thrilled the President’s actions will halt deportations for nearly 5 million undocumented immigrants. This is finally the glimmer of hope that so many women and families have been awaiting. We look forward to working with the Administration to ensure this executive action is seamlessly implemented so that families are swiftly reunited. We urge Congress to follow the President’s leadership and provide permanent relief to the backlogs of aspiring Americans not covered by this action.
