Professor Pratheepan Gulasekaram has co-authored an article in the San Jose Mercury News with UC Riverside Professor and Associate Dean Karthick Ramakrishan examining the state response to President Obama’s immigration executive action.
The article reviews the state response to President Obama’s previous executive action, suggesting a similar reaction will take place for this latest action:
While Congress can still counter the president’s moves, with options ranging from impeachment to passing an enforcement bill that can override his veto, these are not likely to occur with a party that needs a modicum of Latino support to win the presidency in 2016.
Instead, we will likely see significant policy actions at the state level.
