The Obama reelection campaign has begun in earnest with the announcement yesterday that the administration will henceforth be ignoring the expressed will of Congress, its Constitutional obligations, and the desires of the American public. In a move that President Obama’s functionaries have been telegraphing for months, and which was made official yesterday, the White House has announced that it will be “reviewing” the cases of individuals who are in the process of deportation, or who are subject to deportation, in what is effectively a sweeping amnesty for nearly all illegal aliens currently residing in this country. The Wall Street Journal has a brief summary of who is now eligible for the amnesty jackpot, including a description of the aforementioned Morton memo, but a better question is, “who isn’t eligible?”

Technically, someone who's granted deferred action would normally be able to do the same.
The problem is that those are individual cases, not hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of illegal aliens granted de facto amnesty.
The unemployment rate among foreign-born and unnaturalized residents is lower than that of U.S. citizens, FWIW.
