At the New Republic, Peter schrag writes about a new memo from the Obama administration that suggests a more humane way forward on deportations and other immigration-related policies. It is about time, as Schrag notes. It is also necessary that those of us concerned about immigrants keep the pressure on the administration. Gay rights activists, especially fundraisers, made it clear to the administration that unless the White House put all its efforts behind the effort to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell, those activists would sit out the next election. We should not sell our support cheaply either and must make sure that the words in the hopeful memo are actually translated into action on the ground.
