The White house loves immigrants now

Barrack Obama's administration is undertaking a huge effort to help legal immigrants become citizens. They are setting up workshops and practice tests for the naturalization exam. Basically they are trying to help more LEGAL immigrants become citizens. This is eerily similar to the 2012 presidential elections when President Obama issued Deferred Action (an executive order that gave “Dreamers” a work permit and other benefits) right before election time in a clear effort to sway Latino voters. I firmly believe that this sudden interest to naturalize immigrants (the majority of which are Latin@ and Asians, two groups that voted Democratic last election) is a political ploy. Several others agree despite the White house's rejection of such a claim. Go ahead and read it. Decide for yourself if it is a ploy or if the White house has suddenly decided to care about immigrants.
