Today, the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) issued a report card on President Obama's immigration efforts over the past seven years and made recommendations for how to reform immigration in his last year.
“In recent days and weeks he has shown leadership in protecting refugees from Syria,” said AILA President Victor Nieblas Pradis. “But until recently, the president's response was timid and he still plans to resettle only 10,000 Syrian refugees this year. He can save many more lives by setting his target at 100,000 Syrian refugees.”
“In our own hemisphere, when Central American individuals and families, including young children, arrived at our southern border seeking refuge from the horrific violence plaguing those countries, the president should have protected them, but instead, he treated them as a border threat. The president should acknowledge that the situation in Central America is a humanitarian crisis and use every tool at his disposal to protect those fleeing. Most important he should stop detaining thousands of families.”
“The reforms to the legal immigration system he promised a year ago have moved forward at a glacial pace, earning him an incomplete. He can benefit the economy enormously by implementing plans to encourage research, development and entrepreneurial start-ups.”

Cada día es importante, y el desayuno contribuye a sentar la pauta. Una de las mejores maneras de garantizar que tu familia reciba la energía y los valiosos nutrientes que necesita es comenzar el día sirviendo leche en el desayuno, pero más de la mitad de los maestros en Estados Unidos regularmente ven a niños que acuden a la escuela hambrientos, porque no reciben suficiente alimentación en casa. Este año, la campaña nacional del Bigote de Leche “got milk?®” está asociada con Fuel Up to Play 60 – el programa de nutrición escolar y actividades físicas en las escuelas, patrocinado por el Consejo Nacional de Productos Lácteos y la Liga Nacional de Fútbol en más de 73,000 escuelas de todo el país- para enfrentar el problema con un esfuerzo nacional para ayudar a que las familias norteamericanas emprendan días activos y exitosos.
