Here we go. 800,000 young people now declared "legal", but their parents are not. We can't split families up, can we? How cruel is that?

President Obamas announcement earlier this summer that children of illegal immigrants may be able to stay and work in the United States legally has provided a ray of hope for members of the Quiej family. But they arent out of the woods yet.
Savier Jr., 23, and his sister, Johanna, 22, are both Princeton High School graduates and have no criminal record. They qualify under Obamas new plan, which provides the children of illegal immigrants a chance to stay in the country and possess a two-year work permit.
But the fact that Javier Jr. and Johanna meet the requirements for the new plan does not guarantee that the rest of the family will avoid deportation.
Ebelyn Quiej would have qualified for Obamas new plan but her disabilities have hindered her ability to obtain a high school diploma.
There are compelling humanitarian considerations here, Juega said. It would be an amazingly tortuous decision if they had to split the family up.
