Since the other thread is a clusterf$ck of trololololol.....

"Obama administration stops deporting young immigrants Washington (CNN) -- The Obama administration said Friday it will stop deporting young illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States as children if they meet certain requirements.

The election-year policy change will cover people younger than 30 who came to the United States before the age of 16, pose no criminal or security threat, and were successful students or served in the military, the Department of Homeland Security said.

It also will allow those meeting the requirements to apply for work permits, the statement said."

    Yup, he'll do anything for votes.....he'll swing one way and tell ya what you want to hear one day, then a month later he'll swing the complete opposite way. His role of president is played more like the game of "Survivor", except the United States of America and it's people are not a game. We need to get him out, out FAST!!!

    Not like it doesn't happen on both sides.

    I'm not a fan of Obama, but I'm a fan of Romney less. Way I see it, damned if I do, damned if I don't.

    ****, Obama is a damn illegal immigrant so why not take up for his own..Here I sit un-employed and looking for work and he's willing to just give them work..He needs to be thrown out of office and right in prison for crimes against America.

    I only half way agree with this ruling.
    I do believe that if an illegal serves in the Military and gets his/her honorable discharge, they SHOULD get legal rights as a citizen.
    However, just being a "good student" does NOT give you a waiver.
    In my opinion.

    I disagree with it. My family has a well recorded family history. Those who immigrated here did so legally. I'd like to add that when settlers came here, there was tons of unclaimed land and no immigration system so they were not "illegal" immigrants.

    There are many citizens of this country who struggle to work and go to school, it's a slap in the face to allow people in deportation proceedings to stay and take up limited space in schools and the workforce. If they are here illegally, they need to be sent home. Period. If there parents had them BORN here, then they need to blame their parents, not the government, for breaking the law.

    I'm shocked with all the conservatives on this bored. I am glad for this announcement. It's not the kids' fault their parents brought them here illegally.

    And it they work and become citizens, then they pay taxes. What's not good about that? The government needs the money, and we need the spending these citizens will do with their pay checks.

    As a non-american, I have a question.

    What exactly is wrong with giving young people the opportunity to live in a society they were brought into without choice and to make something of themselves, rather than continue to be a sinkhole for government money?

    None at all, as long as they pay taxes and dues like every other u.s. citizen!
