TUCSON, Arizona (AP) — Brenda Armendariz, her husband and their two Mexico-born children were hoping to resolve their constant fears of being deported after President Barack Obama issued his latest executive orders on immigration.

But now that a federal judge in Texas has blocked Obama's efforts to protect 4 million more immigrants, her family is disillusioned and her children feel stuck as the president's offer of temporary legal status moves frustratingly beyond their reach.
About a third of the immigrants now living in the United States illegally would be eligible for temporary protection if Obama's latest orders are upheld in court, either because they were brought to the U.S. as children or because their own children have legal status in the country.
But the advances and retreats on reform have been so frequent over the years that many thousands of immigrants who are already eligible for protection have given up for now — they aren't applying for the work permits and Social Security numbers they are entitled to under Obama's first executive order in 2012.
There are a litany of reasons why, including general distrust of the government, fear they'll be deported, and the nearly $500 in fees it costs to apply. But the constant uncertainty created by Washington's political divide also keeps them away.

There is an exit to the south. If we had a door, I’d say don’t let it hit you on the way out!
They are free to leave.
Go home.
Translation:
Invading illegal cockroaches go scurrying for the dark.
They have a hell of a lot of nerve. The whole world has no right to invade my country - and that is just what these people have been doinig. We have a process in place to legalize immigrants - they should geet in line.
Its unfair to people who followed the rules to get here to allow these invaders to line jump.
Only illegal immigrants. And they are not stuck. They don’t have to stay here.
Go home. We wont even ask for all the money you stole from the taxpayers while you were here. Just go.
But I thought they were in the shadows??
GO HOME!
What, are the roads leading back into Mexico blocked?
Bulls***-they’re not stuck-the border they came over illegally is even easier to cross in the opposite direction, thus unsticking them-if they need help, I’m sure the first border patrol employee they encounter will be more than happy to assist them...
Isn’t that amazing? All we hear is how we can’t deport them because we can’t find them as they are living in hiding yet they are all over the news. It seems reporters, who don’t have a reputation for being the brightest, find them just fine.
We owe them nothing but a ride back to Mexico where they can see if they can get the Mexican government to support them.
Right, cry me a river.
It wasn’t an order. It was a memo and some of us were warning them that Obama was only doing it for propaganda purposes.
They are smarter than Obama and his goons.
They have figured out difference between working for untaxed wages and Fedzilla’s glorious plan the extract taxes out of them.
This story about poor illegals is a bunch of hogwash.
THEN LEAVE!
So sick of these sob stories!
Read on another post that reason for Obama Hut admin slow walking their next move is because of fact that he never actually signed an order. Pure lawlessness with this bunch.
& media silent except for these boohoo stories.
“Immigrants in US feel stuck after judge blocks Obama orders”
You’re not stuck. We welcome you to return to your actual home country whenever you’d like. The sooner, the better.
