The Obama administration will no longer deport law-abiding young people who immigrated to the US illegally, according to a memorandum released today by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Some of the group will also be eligible to receive work permits, Napolitano said in the statement. “Our Nation’s immigration laws must be enforced in a strong and sensible manner,” Napolitano wrote, saying they weren’t designed to be “blindly enforced without consideration given to the individual circumstances of each case.”

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.
