Obama's announcement should be a good thing for my home town

West Liberty is Iowa's only minority majority town.
When I heard about Obama's announcement yesterday, We were quite - relieved I guess is the best word.
Not sure what anyone's status is for sure here, but we know some of the kids. We work with a tutoring program and each and every kid is wonderful.
I hope this takes some of the stress from their families lives.

Read and heard about the turkey plant out there, there are some illegals, and some exploitation (remember the house on the hill in Atalissa situation?). No matter, as you said, let's hope the announcement by the President relieves some stress from these hard working people's lives.
