Of Course He Did: Obama Allows Some Immigrants With Criminal History

From Fox News: Democrats and Republicans sparred Saturday over the part of President Obama's executive order on illegal immigration that allows some applicants to avoid deportation despite having committed crimes.
The section at issue states in part that young illegal immigrants eligible for the program must have “not been convicted of a felony offense, a significant misdemeanor offense, multiple misdemeanor offenses, or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety.”
The language leaves open the door for some illegal immigrants with misdemeanor records to stay. 
The first news reports on the change stated those eligible could have no criminal history, but documents released later in the day showed that to be incorrect.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, the first administration official to announce the plan, said Friday morning the policy change was an attempt to keep the agency’s enforcement resources focused on removing the most potentially dangerous illegal immigrants, including felons and repeat offenders....
The Department of Homeland Securtity’s 8-page memo on the major, election-year policy change attempts to clarify several anticipated questions on criminal history, including what qualifies as a “significant misdemeanor.”

 The response states it part: “A federal, state, or local criminal offense punishable by no more than one year of imprisonment or even no imprisonment that involves: violence, threats, or assault, sexual abuse, larceny, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the unlawful possession or use of a firearm, drug distribution or trafficking, or unlawful possession of drugs.

So, why would the Democrats want criminals to stay?  We are not talking about a speeding ticket or littering ticket.  It appears that the "Democrats are ok with having burglars, petty thieves, people who commit forgery, reckless drivers, drug users, multiple convictions of misdemeanors, disorderly conduct convictions, driving without a license or having a license suspended and others convictions.  By allowing these people who refuse to follow our laws into our country is shameful.

But then, many things that Obama and the Democrats do is shameful.
