Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–July 22, 2015. On November 20, 2014, President Obama took action within his authority to reform our broken immigration system. The President announced a package of administrative actions to enhance border security; prioritize the deportation of immigrants who are enforcement priorities; and modernize our legal immigration system to support high-skilled workers, entrepreneurs, students, and families. Not only will these steps strengthen our national security and the integrity of our immigration system, but also will contribute to our economy. According to the Council of Economic Advisors, the President’s executive actions, if fully implemented, would be expected to boost our economic output by $100 billion to $250 billion, and raise average annual wages for U.S.-born workers by 0.4 percent, or $220 in today’s dollars, over the next 10 years.
