In a panel on “The War Room,” ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project director Cecillia Wang says Obama’s action on behalf of undocumented young people is an important, but temporary reprieve. The president’s action, Wang says, is “not merely a political statement, it’s an important step forward — not just for immigrant communities, but for America.” Panelist Maria Poblet, executive director of Causa Justa, calls the DREAMers heroes. She tells Jennifer, “We have a choice: To criminalize people or give people rights.”
