On April 18th, a Supreme Court hearing will determine the fate of more than 4.3 million immigrants, including many young people and children, who were supposed to be shielded from deportation based on President Obama's November 2014 executive orders.

What's behind the challenge of Texas to the executive action. Why has Obama overseen the deportation of more immigrants than any president in US history?
