Obama administration won't seek deportation of young illegal immigrants

I guess unemployment rate is still not high enough here...

Obama administration won't seek deportation of young illegal immigrants - NBC Politics

It was interesting to read through comments, especially given a fact that some come from democrats.

..... mmmmmmm ..... I better not ...

Lol! Feel free, TG. Frankly I have quite strong feelings about the article, because I don't see how praising those who violated the law is right thing to do and fair towards those who didn't.

The Dream Act would have been a much better choice, but it was a no go in Congress. We do not want to create a whole class of sub-citizen, but legal, workers such as they have in Europe (the "Arbeiters"). That is a grave mistake for our society, where upward mobility is the core of the American Dream.

November approaches.

Vote the fool out and lets move on.

Damn straight, GS.

Regardless of what each of us may think is the right or wrong policy, the reality is that there is not enough manpower/money at any level (city, state, or fed) to effectively enforce any detention/deportation policy with regard to illegal aliens at all.

By design. I think my Grandfather (RIP, 1989) deserves an apology by this administration. He came over to the USA in 1912 at 14yo, and completed his naturalization in 1922. HORRORS to think that anybody who immigrates here be asked to come to our country and follow our laws.
Even with the drug cartels, I am far less concerned about Mexicans, and others here illegally from other Latin American countries, and MUCH MORE concerned about Middle Eastern and Asian terrorists coming here through a liquid border. =/
THAT is why this is important.

There may not be, but the least they could do is try.

When the states try to assist the feds enforce the policy they get smacked down.

The federal government is negligent and guilty of dereliction of duty.
