Disbelief and elation swept through the state’s immigrant community today as people checked text messages and voice mail and e-mail and saw the news — that for the first time in decades law-abiding young people who were brought here as children illegally would no longer face deportation and would be eligible to apply for work permits.
“It doesn’t feel real,” said Renata Teodoro, 24, who moved from Brazil when she was 6 years old. “It’s not everything that we need, but it’s a big step.”

So, when these kids provide documentation and proof that they were brought here as children by their parents, then their parents will be deported, right?
Globe states "Disbelief and elation swept through the state's ILLEGAL immigrant community today as..." And Globe is ELATED that we have a President (who is an illegal immigrant himself) that we have a President who MAKES UP any law that he wishes, and REJECTS any law that he doesn't like. And notice, with regard to foreign policy, Obama is right at home with the dictators of Venezuela, Syria, North Korea and Iran, who also state that their countried constitutions say that the leaders can order the people to anything.
