Obama’s plan, unveiled on Thursday, eases the threat of deportation for some 4.7 million immigrants who are in the United States without legal documents.

“This is an act of justice which recognizes the great contribution of millions of Mexicans to the development of our neighbor,” Pena Nieto told a conference in Mexico.

Most of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States come from Mexico and Central America.

Leaders across Central America were also quick to praise Obama’s plan. But they urged U.S. lawmakers to approve a deeper reform to give lasting security to the millions of undocumented people in the United States.

When will the U.S. stop this extortion by Mexico and Central America?  The Gimmecrats are continuing Obama’s immigration extortion policy against the U.S.  Are the Gimmecrats being paid off by the cartels/Soros?

So, what happened?  Nothing changed – just got worse with sanctuary cities,  illegals voting in elections (Federal) and vote harvesting by illegals.

Mexico, Central America hail Obama’s immigration reform

MEXICO CITY/TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) – Mexico’s President Enrique Pena Nieto and Central American leaders hailed U.S. President Barack Obama’s sweeping immigration reforms on Friday, with the Mexican leader calling them the “most important measures taken in several decades.”

Obama’s plan, unveiled on Thursday, eases the threat of deportation for some 4.7 million immigrants who are in the United States without legal documents.

“This is an act of justice which recognizes the great contribution of millions of Mexicans to the development of our neighbor,” Pena Nieto told a conference in Mexico.

Most of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States come from Mexico and Central America.

Leaders across Central America were also quick to praise Obama’s plan. But they urged U.S. lawmakers to approve a deeper reform to give lasting security to the millions of undocumented people in the United States.

“This temporary relief is a great step in the right direction from the United States to resolve the migratory issues of 11 million people, and so we urge Congress to permanently resolve their status by approving a deep immigration reform,” the office of Honduran President Juan Hernandez said in a statement on Friday.

More than a million Hondurans live in the United States, most of them illegally, the statement said, and the Obama plan “sends a powerful message of solidarity with Latin America.”

Guatemalan President Otto Perez also applauded the plan, saying it would benefit roughly 100,000 Guatemalans in the United States.

Nonetheless, Perez urged Guatemalans not to fall for misinformation spread by people smugglers or “coyotes.” Rumors of a U.S. amnesty for mothers and children helped drive a surge in unaccompanied minors arriving from Central America at the U.S. border last summer, sparking a political crisis in the United States.

Border talks open as Trump renews demand for wall

Honduras’ Hernandez and Guatemala’s Perez have said both countries will need billions of dollars in U.S. aid and investment to stem the tide of migrants heading north.

In September, Central American leaders presented a plan to boost economic growth in the region and cut illegal immigration to the United States. But the plan hinged on major spending on infrastructure and energy projects in the impoverished region.

El Salvador’s Foreign Minister Hugo Martinez also saw Obama’s immigration rule changes as a positive step, but vowed to keep up pressure for a more permanent solution.

5 facts about illegal immigration in the U.S.

PEW RESEARCH CENTER

By Jens Manuel Krogstad, Jeffrey S. Passel and D’Vera Cohn

The number of unauthorized immigrants living in the United States was lower in 2016 than at any time since 2004. This decline is due mainly to a large drop in the number of new unauthorized immigrants, especially Mexicans, coming into the country. The origin countries of unauthorized immigrants also shifted during that time, with the number from Mexico declining and the number rising from only one other region, Central America, according to the latest Pew Research Center estimates.

Here are five facts about the unauthorized immigrant population in the U.S.

U.S. unauthorized immigrant total rises, then falls1There were 10.7 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. in 2016, representing 3.3% of the total U.S. population that year. The 2016 unauthorized immigrant total is a 13% decline from the peak of 12.2 million in 2007, when this group was 4% of the U.S. population.

2The number of Mexican unauthorized immigrants declined since 2007, but the total from other nations changed little. Mexicans made up half of all unauthorized immigrants in 2016, according to the Center’s estimate, compared with 57% in 2007. Their numbers (and share of the total) have been declining in recent years: There were 5.4 million Mexican unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2016, down from 6.9 million in 2007.

Meanwhile, the total from other nations, 5.2 million in 2016, remained about the same as in 2007, when it was 5.3 million. The number of unauthorized immigrants has grown since 2007 only from one birth region: Central America, from 1.5 million that year to nearly 1.9 million in 2016. This growth was fueled mainly by immigrants from the Northern Triangle nations of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

The totals also went down over the 2007-2016 period from South America and the combined region of Europe plus Canada. The remaining regions (the Caribbean, Asia, Middle East-North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa and the rest of the world) did not change significantly in that time.

3The U.S. civilian workforce includes 7.8 million unauthorized immigrants, representing a decline since 2007. Between 2007 and 2016, the number of unauthorized immigrant workers fell, as did their share of the total U.S. workforce over the same period. This group accounted for 4.8% of those in the U.S. who were working or were unemployed and looking for work. The number of unauthorized immigrant men in the prime working ages of 18 to 44 also declined, but not women.

Compared with their 4.8% share of the civilian workforce overall in 2016, unauthorized immigrants are overrepresented as a share of the workforce in farming occupations (24%) and construction occupations (15%). In all industries and occupations, though, they are outnumbered by U.S.-born workers.

4Six states account for 58% of unauthorized immigrants: California, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey and Illinois. But individual states have experienced different trends. From 2007 to 2016, the unauthorized immigrant population decreased in a dozen states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York and Oregon. In three states, the unauthorized immigrant population rose over the same period: Louisiana, Maryland and Massachusetts.

5A rising share of unauthorized immigrants have lived in the U.S. for more than a decade. About two-thirds (66%) of unauthorized immigrant adults in 2016 had been in the U.S. more than 10 years, compared with 41% in 2007. A declining share of unauthorized immigrants have lived in the U.S. for less than five years – 18% of adults in 2016, compared with 30% in 2007. In 2016, unauthorized immigrant adults had lived in the U.S. for a median of 14.8 years, meaning that half had been in the country at least that long.

The flow of immigrants  is not going to stop because if the immigrants stop sending money from the U.S. back to their country of origin  – both Mexico and Central America’s economy will certainly  fall – according to facts.

In the meantime, we are propping up the illegals in this country with welfare. etc/. and thereby reducing our standard of living and infrastructure which is all part of Obama’s plan  –  to make our country  visibly look like a third world country  as he stated – the Gimmecrats are proceeding with this plan.

We must stop the Gimmecrat’s proliferation  of our resources.
