In the agricultural Eastern Coachella Valley, an overwhelmingly Latino and immigrant population, many residents are personally impacted by Obama’s executive immigration order, or they have family members who are affected. A large group gathered at a community center to hear the announcement, and voiced mixed reactions. “The President’s executive actions can be seen as a positive sign of his good will. However, the actions are temporary, they can be revoked by any subsequent president. So, while the actions may be a step in the right direction, there is much more work to be done.” Read more responses on Coachella Unincorporated.
