Obama - "undocumented", law-abiding immigrants will not be deported

i love how they call it undocumented and law-abiding, instead of illegal, since you know... the fact that they are here illegally makes them not law-abiding.

The White House said Thursday it will let undocumented, law-abiding immigrants facing deportation stay in the U.S. and apply for work permits.

The policy shift focuses federal resources on booting out convicted criminals and others who pose a public safety or national security threat, while sparing undocumented students and other low-priority immigrant offenders.

"It's a good idea," said Francisco Pinto, a 37-year-old financial adviser from Flatbush. "The country is built upon immigrants. They stimulate the economy."

"If somebody doesn't have a criminal record, why do they have to deport them?" asked Marie Dennery, a 50-year-old Haitian immigrant and U.S. citizen from Canarsie.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the government will conduct a case-by-case review of some 300,000 illegal immigrants in deportation proceedings to determine who should stay and who should go.

Low-priority cases were "clogging immigration court dockets and diverting enforcement resources away from individuals who pose a threat," Napolitano said in a letter to senators.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), an ardent supporter of immigration overhaul, said he was confident the new policy would halt the deportation of young illegal immigrants who go to college.

Those young people would be granted a chance at legal status under a proposed bill known as the Dream Act.

"These students are the future doctors, lawyers, teachers and, maybe, senators, who will make America stronger," Durbin said.

Added Rep. Jose Serrano (D-Bronx): "It's an important, wonderful first step. We're not saying that certain people should not be deported, but you can't do it in a blanket way."

Immigrant groups were far less effusive.

"It remains to be seen whether this change will provide actual relief for youth and our families," The New York State Youth Leadership Council said.

However, Faith Champy, a 33-year-old social worker from Queens, added, "Most immigrants come here for a better life. If they're working and doing what they're supposed to do, why should they get deported?"

Since the dream act couldn't pass congress Obama is doing an end around via executive order to implement it. Gotta get that illegal/hispanic vote!

And they committed a damn crime by being here illegally. They ARE criminals.
 
By definition an undocumented immigrant is an illegal immigrant and thus all undocument immigrants are breaking the law. Dont we have enough people out of work now? Do we have to invite more immigrants to come here?

Cant Fix Stupid.
 
You stupid swine, don't you realize that if you deport them all, your masters won't have any cheap labor?! Fingermen can be so short sighted,...

Haven't you learned ANYTHING from Georgian farmers?!

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

He is from the voter suppression camp...like killing ACORN and making it harder for Americans to vote ESPECIALLY the ones who are most likely apt to vote Democratic.
 
Why can't somebody actually take a stand (like Arizona) and call a spade a spade FFS?

Yeah, yeah, everybody deserves a right to thrive, they are our backbone, blah, blah, blah.

Illegal immigration has put the government into a flat spin, it's unrecoverable at this point.
 
Correct thing to do here. Even Reagan recognized this as well back then. We need to punish those who hire illegals and we should not give public aid to illegals either. If we take away the incentives for lying in the first place, this can be one problem that can be quickly resolved.

I'm sure all their babies and little kids knew they were breaking the law.

Political correctness run amok

I love how you're either so dumb that you don't distinguish between decent people and lowlifes, or that you just pretend to ignore the difference.

If the USD was suddenly worth nothing, and you could illegally immigrate to canada and make a normal wage, you would probably risk everything to do so.

Your ancestors got here somehow, right? Probably didn't have to file any fancy papers either.

I also would be willing to be there are tons of "illegals" who obey laws better than you.

LMAO, offended Mexican.
I'll let everyone else here tear you a new one.

Shill
 
No deportations?

That's because they see they are in deep trouble and therefore they see no reason to deport any of their voters.

So tell me, why bother to have immigration rules and regulations while certain groups get a free pass while others have to wait for years and years? Also, can you name one country, just one, that have open border policy and let everyone sneak in and then let them wave their home countries flags and demand amnesty?

<<<----LEGAL non white immigrant.
 
Does this mean undocumented workers are going to be registered and required to pay taxes or are they just going to release them?
 
Along the same lines, why should we use valuable resources arresting crooks who "only" steal cars, we should only arrest the ones who break into houses. Heck, why not save a lot more money and just do a review of laws to see which ones we need to enforce versus which ones would help obummer get reelected.

This is sickening, but not at all unexpected from obummer.
 
if they were voting republican do you think the obama would do this?? Next he will allow convicted felons to vote. That will round out his support for criminals.
 
This is ridiculous.

Democrats covet the Hispanic vote, and Republicans want big business to benefit from cheap labor. Shit like this won't change until the revolution.

Canada does. It seems like trillions of Chinese people come over then never leave. Vancouver, commonly referred to as "Hongcouver," is 1/5 Chinese. Obviously that's not all illegal immigrants. Most are legally there as they are sponsored by a relative, but often the sponsorship ends and the person doesn't leave. Most US illegals are like that too - let a legal visa expire then don't leave.

Britain is a huge bag of vaginas as well.

Just because a kid didn't choose to come into the world, doesn't mean they deserve to be here. My stance is every illegal needs to be booted, we need to really secure our southern border and then we need immigration reform because our immigration policies are pretty fucking dumb.
