Boy, I'm really failing to get this conversation going on other threads, so I'll try to start one.
From what I've seen the main takeaway from this act is that most illegals will not be deported if they have not been here long enough; they have to pass criminal and security background checks, they have to pay taxes and prove their eligibility to stay.
Seems like much ado about not that much to me.
I also heard him challenge the GOP Congress to pass a bill that will override this act. So, as I asked on another thread -- don't we all agree that our immigration system is fucked up? Don't we want to fix something that is important and fucked up?
And why, precisely, wouldn't the GOP jump at this opportunity to pass a bill and put it on Obama's desk?
What am I missing?

My problem is I don't trust the guy....
There is a problem with how we got here.
He can't wait a bit longer to get a bill passed?
We have a new Congress convening he is in such a rush he can't do it the right way....
Yeah I know the people have waited too long....
How about this....
Obama said at least 25 times he can't do what he now says he can....
Anyone want to explain what changed.
Did Valerie Jarrett proclaim him emperor and God....
Seriously....
How now all of a sudden Obama has powers he did not have a year ago....
And lastly...This is not the first time some sort of Amnesty has been done...
Why can't we enforce the laws on the books....
Are we going to have to go through this every 10 - 20 years...
I'll Join Mac1958 on this....
When you say, "Why can't we enforce the laws on the books....", are you talking about
tracking down
incarcerating
trying
convicting
deporting
eleven million people?
We'll see what they say, but I think the deal is this:
- No new immigration legislation
- No mass deportation
- Enforce laws, meaning deport one by one, as you go, as the opportunity presents itself
- Includes all children regardless of age or situation
- Seal the border
