As of today, there are at least 11 million undocumented immigrants who are now in the U.S. They are called "TNT" (tago ng tago). But lately, after president Obama got reelected for his second term, there seems to be some sign of optimism among these TNTs.
Frank Sharry, executive director and founder of America's Voice, said "this optimism comes from a confluence of factors: 'The president promised it, the Democrats want it, the Republicans need it, the American people support it and the immigrant rights movement is strong enough to deliver it."
Now, we will wait and see.
