President Obama followed up on last night's speech by signing a pair of memos associated with his executive action on immigration. The measures will let up to five million undocumented immigrants stay in the country temporarily. House Speaker John Boehner says the executive order is sabotaging President Obama's chances of passing other reforms that he wants. Speaker Boehner even said this will damage the presidency itself. Univision and Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos spoke with Anderson and said the President was pushed to take this action by Latino groups, but also by the inaction of Republicans.

Instead of using resources defeating Obama's immigration policy, Congress please use your time to ask Americans for new ideas to solve this problem. Just like pieces of a puzzle, Americans posses a small portion to a new immigration vision. Organize new series of town halls and online approach to ask people for ideas, after all, solutions are found outside of Washington.
Can all in one cards, drivers license or Id cards be the same as credit/debit/ATM cards be created? A person can only do money transactions with their ATM/credit cards, if a someone has valid drivers license or ID.
As for securing our borders, a few miles away another layer fence be placed dotting across this line. Build this fence
where most people cross to raise the security at the border.
Finally, just like in biology where an uneven pressure causes fluid to migrate across a membrane, the U.S must balance this unbalanced pressure across the southern border membrane. Two reasons for people to migrate across the southern border membrane are lack of safety and lack of jobs. Our drug war is fueling the cartels with lots of cash and thus creates lack of safety in southern countries, we need to rethink how the U.S deals with this policy. The southern countries have resources, like nice weather and minerals (oil), for the U.S. to help them develop to create new jobs. Their nice weather all year long is great to grow food and to visit, We help them create jobs, we
help create a balance across this southern border membrane, we help solve this immigration problem.
So please Congress, instead of using resources to stop Obama’s immigration policy, use time to ask Americans for new ideas. This will be more productive than just saying no.
