Many TV networks in the United States of America
have moved against Obama's latest plan to offer
work permits to over 5 million undocumented
immigrants in the country in order to protect them
from deportation.
In this latest offer, all non-citizens living in the
country for more than 5 years with children who are
US citizens and legal permanent resident can now
apply for 3-year work authorization.
President Obama also plans to give young
immigrants who arrive the US before age 16 work
permits.
CBS, ABC and NBC network owners are not happy
about Obama's latest move to free the deportation-
bound immigrants. The networks have decided to not
broadcast Barack Obama's prime time speech on
Immigration.
CBS News said it would not broadcast the address
live, NBC said it would carry the speech only on its
news channel MSNBC and ABC across its news digital
platforms, not its TV network.
"The decision made by the English language
broadcast networks is disappointing," White House
press secretary Josh Earnest said.
It is now left for the US congress to approve Obama's
offer.
