Political divide on immigration looms over Nevada families - Video
JUDY WOODRUFF: The divide over immigration was a major theme of this years congressional elections. But the issue is not just roiling politicians.
As our Gwen found on a weekend trip to Nevada, the presidents policies and Republicans opposition to reform has meant difficult splits within many families.
GWEN IFILL: Far from Washingtons politics, positioning and policy, heres what the immigration debate looks like, a Saturday afternoon gathering of friends and relatives at a family-owned restaurant little more than a mile from the Strip in Las Vegas.
Susana Flores, the owner, is a legal resident who tried unsuccessfully to teach me how to make tortillas.
(LAUGHTER)
GWEN IFILL: Susanas sister, Rocina Sandoval, who works as a waitress, is not here legally. She could easily be deported.
ROCINA SANDOVAL, Nevada (through interpreter): I would like some kind of documentation so I could work legally and help the family more.
GWEN IFILL: Most of the family members have lived in Las Vegas for decades. Rocinas son, Juan Salazar, joined his parents here when he was just 7 years old. He is now covered by President Obamas 2012 executive action which protects so called dreamers, young people who arrived in this country illegally when they were children.
He runs a pool business with his father, Juan Sr., and attends a local community college. But good fortune has its limits, even for a dreamer.
JUAN SALAZAR, Nevada: My parents do not qualify, because Im not a born citizen and neither are my sisters. So my mom or my dad, theyre not protected. So thats still that fear that they could come take your parents away any moment.
