Like I said, Cosa Nostra Government is now in effect.

As I mentioned in a thread Friday, those of you anxiously awaiting the Executive Order may be disappointed. See the attached PDF. I predicted that what the *resident was doing was just giving a nod to his minions to interpret the law in the most generous way possible. And here you have it, the new directions from Jeh Johnson pretty well cease enforcement of deportations for anyone here already. It's all written to carefully follow the current law, but everything is now conditional on "available resources", which as you can probably predict will be otherwise engaged.

Next up: some kind of memo laying out the relaxation of rules governing the issue of resident alien visas (Green Cards), probably to "ease the backlog of processing"?. From hereon, laws are going to be pretty damned flexible.

Can you really see anyone having the cajones to undo this? Like all state benefits, there's a powerful ratchet effect: you can give but then never take back.

Thanks Matt, I got about 1/3 the way in on the train this morning. Will be finishing ASAP.
