Deportation... Not 1 More

"The time is now to stop deportations," Cesar Vargas, co-director of the Dream Action Coalition, said at the press conference. "Immigration reform has been stalled, and we need action now. Not in three months, not review. We need it now."

There has been a rift over whether to continue to push House Republicans to pass immigration reform or whether to put pressure on Obama to halt some deportations. Some groups are attempting to do both, and some argue it's time to recognize Congress isn't going to act, and if they want something to change, the president is the one who can do it.
