President Barack Obama’s administration announced Friday that it would stop deporting younger illegal immigrants and would begin granting them work permits.

The policy will apply to immigrants younger than 30 who arrived in the U.S. before the age of 16, have been in the country at least five years, have no criminal history and graduated from high school, earned a GED or served in the military. The decision could affect as many as 800,000 immigrants.

“Our nation’s immigration laws must be enforced in a firm and sensible manner,” Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a statement. “But they are not designed to be blindly enforced without consideration given to the individual circumstances of each case. Nor are they designed to remove productive young people to countries where they may not have lived or even speak the language. Discretion, which is used in so many other areas, is especially justified here.”

DHS said it will continued to “focus its enforcement resources on the removal of individuals who pose a national security or public safety risk, including immigrants convicted of crimes, violent criminals, felons, and repeat immigration law offenders.”

Napolitano told reporters on Friday that the new policy did not amount to amnesty.

Senior administration officials admitted that the deferral waivers, which would have to be renewed every two years, would allow a future administration to treat the same population differently.

Except for the little fact that they aren't citizens and can't vote. I would say that Romney generating any latino support is pretty much shot though.

Firstly. lets remember that ACORN was sabotaged by the far right by lies and falsified and selectively edited video.

Secondly, it amazes me that we bring in immigrant workers to do our grunt work (and I know what I'm talking about- I did field work for a few summers and short of palatalizing bags of concrete by hand there's not much harder work) and then complain about them and worry that they might actually gain some of the benefits we enjoy. :fp:

thank you, only reason for this move now is to prevent hispanic voters from leaving him in droves and steal any thunder that Romney may have gotten from a Rubio VP pick.

i like this approach better. startup 2.0


"The Startup Act 2.0 helps create an environment in which entrepreneurs can pursue their ideas and succeed," said Rey Ramsey, President and CEO of TechNet. "This bipartisan effort recognizes that America's economic future depends on our nation's ability to continue driving innovation. The proposals included in this bill can help drive our economic recovery and solidify our global leadership for years to come."

Startup 2.0 creates new opportunities for U.S.-educated, entrepreneurial, highly-skilled immigrants to remain in the U.S. and contribute to the American economy.

That is until he chooses a latino as his running mate and puts the immigration topic on the back-burner.
