The Obama administration announced on Friday that it would no longer seek the deportation of most young illegal immigrants, and would instead allow them to apply for work permits, a significant policy shift with potentially major electoral implications.

The Department of Homeland Security said that, effective immediately, the government would no longer seek the deportation of illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States as children, and would allow them to apply for work permits if they meet certain criteria.

“Our nation’s immigration laws must be enforced in a firm and sensible manner,” said Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Plus we need their vote.

We need to stop the in flow. Worrying about 15 year olds who were brought here as babies is a waste of time and money.
 
In November Maryland is voting on a proposal to give children who were brought here illegally by their parents (and who graduate from Maryland high schools) in-state tuition at Maryland colleges and universities.

I'm all for it. We aren't England and we don't punish children for the crimes of their parents by shipping them off to far away lands.
 
Yet one more act of treason on the part of a President who, for all intents and purposes, has disbanded the Congress and usurped its powers onto himself. Hitler did this too when he disbanded the Reichstag, and who also made that same act legal by his direction. America now has an Imperial Presidency... a King. And he has pissed all over our freedoms, and our Constitution. I hate this man for what he has done, and continues to do to our country. His only responsibility as President, and the oath he has taken, was to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution... it's an oath he took with no intention of fulfulling.
 
^^ is officially back on ignore.

Much appreciated if people don't quote it, kthanks.

Just to make the fat lazy fuck mad:D
Don't forget year ago he said he couldn't do this.

Ignored opinions, especially the opinions of those you disagree with, lead to such things as misleading Wisconsin exit polls... and the question 'What happened, how can this be, when we all knew so convincingly when we talked amongst ourselves with such likeminded people the answers to all our political questions, they were all so clear' - and that now all too familiar deer-in-the-headlights look of disbelief.

Ignore = Ignorance

You're calling Miles, Vettebigot and Ishtard ignorant? First thing you've said that isn't total bullshit.
 
In 2010 the Obama administration deported 400,000 illegals out of a total population of 11-12 million total. That's around 4%.

In other words, there is no significant change here. If you thought there was, you were fooled again.

Which is more than Bush did and he did it without offering amnesty. If you thought otherwise you must be uninformed.
 
Typical Obama.

The unemployed will really appreciate this. Just my opinion: he may have just pissed away a few million votes.
 
Why Obama’s Decision To Stop Deporting DREAM-Eligible Youth Is Good For The Economy

By Travis Waldron

President Obama will announce a new immigration policy today that will allow some undocumented youths to avoid deportation and receive work permits to remain in the United States. Students in the U.S. who are in deportation proceedings or those who would have qualified for the DREAM Act and have yet to come forward to Department of Homeland Security officials will not be deported and will be allowed to work in the United States.
Though exact details of the plan are still unclear, it could benefit as many as one million undocumented students living in the country, and it will almost certainly have tangible benefits for the long-term health of the American economy.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that the DREAM Act — which Republicans blocked in 2010 — would increase federal revenues by $1.7 billion over the next 10 years, reducing federal deficits by $2.2 billion over that time. DREAM-eligible students would generate between $1.4 and $3.6 trillion in taxable income over the course of their working lives, according to a study by UCLA’s North American Integration and Development Center.
DREAM-eligible youth could also help fill the 16 million shortfall of college-educated workers that is expected to hit the U.S. by 2025, and with 31.5 percent of science and engineering graduates coming from Latino backgrounds, Obama’s decision could add 252,000 new scientists, engineers, and technical workers to the nation’s dwindling supply in those fields.
The decision will help raise wages for American workers too. “As long as a cheap, compliant pool of undocumented labor is available, employers have every reason to take advantage of the situation, keeping wages as low as possible,” Cristina Jimenez wrote in the American Prospect in 2010. “Only when undocumented immigrants have the ability to exercise complete workplace rights will they help exert upward pressure on wages and labor standards that will benefit other workers.”
These benefits are obvious even to leading Republicans. “The economy will be better when that [undocumented] kid is able to fully realize his potential and break the pattern of his parent’s illegal activity,” former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) said in 2010. Obama’s decision isn’t just good because it protects young adults who have spent most of their lives establishing homes in the United States, it’s good because it will help our struggling economy too.

It's been the history of every despot that they dance in glee before they're toppled by those they pushed too far. So it will be with Obama ... his historical legacy will be that of a 2012 Benedict Arnold ... not an honorable place.

Right now Romney's strategy is kicking his ass. Obama has become his own opponent.

You are the reason that adult literacy programs exist although I doubt that your deficit in critical-thinking can be remediated.

Are you now planning to send a Holder led Brownshirt posse to take away my MENSA membership and all the University degrees I've earned? Damn, you Marxists are a tough group..... maybe I'm headed to one of your re-education camps after all :(
