AP sources: Immunity offered to certain immigrants

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration will stop deporting and begin granting work permits to younger illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and have since led law-abiding lives. The election-year initiative addresses a top priority of an influential Latino electorate that has been vocal in its opposition to administration deportation policies.

The policy change, described to The Associated Press by two senior administration officials, will affect as many as 800,000 immigrants who have lived in fear of deportation. It also bypasses Congress and partially achieves the goals of the so-called DREAM Act, a long-sought but never enacted plan to establish a path toward citizenship for young people who came to the United States illegally but who have attended college or served in the military.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was to announce the new policy Friday, one week before President Barack Obama plans to address the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials' annual conference in Orlando, Fla. Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney is scheduled to speak to the group on Thursday.

Under the administration plan, illegal immigrants will be immune from deportation if they were brought to the United States before they turned 16 and are younger than 30, have been in the country for at least five continuous years, have no criminal history, graduated from a U.S. high school or earned a GED, or served in the military. They also can apply for a work permit that will be good for two years with no limits on how many times it can be renewed. The officials who described the plan spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss it in advance of the official announcement.

***pResident O’Bozo to America: “LET THE RACE WAR BEGIN.”***

You’re exactly right. 0b0z0 is placing his communist soldiers and egging them on just in time to get them “enraged” when SCOTUS yanks his 0kakaKare.

Be prepared, my FRiends, the hoods are coming to your neighborhoods sooner than you expect.

Impeach the bastard. He does not have the authority and is spitting on his oath of office (again)! Congress cannot allow him to do this!

The gutless spineless Republicans are never ever gonna impeach anyone. Not now not never. They learned their lesson in 1998. BUT if someone does not stop this Imperial King Barry, America is over. The only one I heard today that seemed to have a plan was Steve King, R-IA who says he will bring a law suit. Sheriff Joe also said he has no intention of honoring this policy and will continue with his sweeps against illegal activity. BUT if Barry Soetoro sees he gets away with every new power grab and no one stops him, well just let your imagination go a little further.............

[Cheerio]

Barry wants a civil war? He better be careful what he wishes for.

[SCalGal]

Who you gonna call? Boehner? McConnell? Ghostbusters?

I called Pelosi and congratulated her on her new irrelevance. Said it's nice that we don't need her anymore since obama is bypassing congress and doesn't need them to make laws. They weren't too happy....

I don't know if it'll gain any traction or not, but further distension in the ranks can only be good.

[Ulysse]

How will the dhimmicroocks know that an illegal is here since
he is 16 ??????

“We have a Republican Congress full of go-along, get-along wimps (with a few exceptions like Darrell Issa, Paul Ryan, and Rand Paul).”

---

We've got to quit using the word “congress” and state the obvious. It is the Senate that refuses to take up bills passed by the House. It is the Senate that has not passed a budget, or limited spending. It is the Senate that needs a super majority (per Senate rules) to pass legislation. It is the Senate that supports Obama’s agenda.

“Reading the article, this really means amnesty for all, only a criminal who is caught will be deported.”

No they won’t. If he is not deporting them now, do any of us really believe he will deport them after this?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Cant they at least require that all fake documents be forged in the US by Americans?

It does not work that way. With this, FL, CO, NV and AZ are gone - Zero will win them. Without those 4, there is no way Romney can win. Period. It does not matter how many more blacks vote for him in MS or AL.

"will stop deporting and begin granting work permits to younger illegal immigrants"

Every President is Sworn to uphold the law, not encourage breaking it.

This "President" defiles himself and the office.

Stop peeing in your pants. FL, CO, NV and AZ are not gone. The kenyan doubling down on the crazy marxist stuff hurts him in OH, PA, WI, etc. Like gay marriage this jive won't play in suburbia. If obama loses suburban women he loses the election. Guaranteed. This is just another skirmish in a long campaign that ends in November. We have not yet begun to fight.

If Obama had a gardener, he would look like Jose.

At least one man is willing to stand up to Obama's lawless amnesty...Sheriff Joe:

Well said :-)

Ok. I hope not, but you might be right.
