So while Congress is still peeved, the rest of the world, particularly the leader of Latin American countries are very pleased with the moves of the President. Leaders from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador are super happy with Obama's decision to help keep families together.
The response from the rest of their people is a little more lukewarm, however. There have been newspapers explaining what the reform will or will not do and activists feel it is a step in the right direction but there is still more to be done.
I just find it interesting that the only backlash the President is going to get is from Congress and since he's in the second half of his second term, I don't think it bothers him all that much. Have the Republicans decided to do anything or are they still threatening that they will do something, they just don't know yet?
