No wonder President Obama is the worst president ever. Today, Obama and the DHS decided not to deport people who are in the country illegally.
From the Washington Times: The Homeland Security Department said Thursday it will halt deportation proceedings on a case-by-case basis against illegal immigrants who meet certain criteria such as attending school, having family in the military or are primarily responsible for other family members’ care.
The move, announced in letters to Congress, won immediate praise from Hispanic activists and Democrats who had chided President Obama for months for the pace of deportations and had argued he had authority to exempt broad swaths of illegal immigrants from deportation.
“Today’s announcement shows that this president is willing to put muscle behind his words and to use his power to intervene when the lives of good people are being ruined by bad laws,” said Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez, Illinois Democrat.
In the letters to Congress, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said her department and the Justice Department will review all ongoing cases and see who meets the new criteria on a case-by-case basis.

About the only stopping illegals coming to the United States is the bad bad economy created by Obama.

Waaaaiiiit. . .didn't St. Ronald Regan give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens in the 1980s? Prior to this announcement, the Obama Administration was deporting record numbers. Does he get partial credit for that?
ReplyDeleteYes, Obama does get credit for that, but he also has let record numbers go as well.
ReplyDeleteReagan wasn't perfect.
But as always, Jamie, thanks for stopping by.
