“So far the Administration has refused to answer the countless requests made by members of congress to explain the applicant vetting process.”

Why doesn't the Republican House refuse to fund this unConstitutional act?

Oh that's right...they have no backbone.

4,591 have been approved , right I bet the number is much higher than that. Romney should ask Obama why he issued reported 4,591 work permits to illegals at a time when unemployment is at astronomical levels in America ?

Actually, the news is all bad - from Obama, and from Romney.

Romney has stated that he will not revoke Obama’s “temporary” two year “Deferred Action” Amnesty.

Romney implies that he will not renew Obama’s Amnesty, but Romney does not explicitly say that, so I believe it will become de facto Law, just through inaction, and without any input by Congress.

Both Obama and the GOP intend to let this sleeping dog lie until after the election.

For Romney, the fear is that Hispanics will vote even more to the Left than usual if he speaks out against the DREAM Act.

For Obama, the first day of DREAM registration stunned the Democratic Party.

News media pictures of 5,000 illegals packing a Chicago park, and more than 5,000 illegals in Los Angeles shutting down a city street were on every news broadcast and front page.

After that first day, we have had a total MSM news blackout on this issue.

The GOP cowardice is suicidal.

If Obama is reelected, one million “DREAMERS” will be voting against Conservative candidates in 2014.
