Obama came up with this executive amnesty action at this time for the sole reason of getting Hispanics to vote again (for him obviously). By making it so close to the election there is little chance that it will blow up with a illegal Willy Horton before then.
Suppose Romney gets elected:
1) He could legally pull all the records of all those that applied and use those to deport them.
2) Chances are he will not have the guts to do that and will instead just have immigration dept review the cases and keep most of them the same (Green cards)
3) States that give drivers licenses to these people will be in violation of the Dream Act
4) I imagine Romney will try some sort of amnesty move
Illegals that are brought here as minors will always be seen by most people as victims and they are (yet we don't have stiff penalties for those who bring them????) and that makes it hard to reverse this, regardless of the drawbacks of this policy that I need not list here.
What we really need is a independent Republican group hire someone with a Mexican accent to warn illegals that Obama is just setting a trap for them. Hey, this is not checkers.

I’m not convinced he needs to pull a gutsy move here. As I understand it, these green cards are temporary. When they expire, I’d let them expire. End of story...
There was no legal basis for Obama doing what he has done. I would make that very clear, when asked why I wasn’t extending the green cards. “Because it was an illegal act in the first place.” Any further questions?
I didn’t think so...

Good idea.
