Thoughts On Obama, Immigration

"Well played, President Obama . . . despite the haters, this imminent executive order, which essentially expands the program for Dreamers, extends to millions of undocumented immigrants, but has no path to citizenship, is a temporary fix - despite Republican outcries and rending of garments and gnashing of teeth, it's not a contradiction: What he said in the past was that he could not pass amnesty to 11 million undocumented immigrants and provide a path to citizenship on his own. But he is, legally, doing what he can, while Republican congress critters (who had a chance to pass a bill on immigration, and refused to) sit on their asses, tear his plans apart, and continue to kick back and do abso-fucking-lutely nothing . . .
"-Friend Julie via Facebook


p.s. "Mass amnesty would be unfair. Mass deportation would be both impossible and contrary to our character. What I’m describing is accountability – a commonsense, middle ground approach: If you meet the criteria, you can come out of the shadows and get right with the law. If you’re a criminal, you’ll be deported. If you plan to enter the U.S. illegally, your chances of getting caught and sent back just went up."
