something to keep in mind as everyone (rightly) celebrates:
“Deferred Status” is the same thing being done with the “Dreamers” under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) ... which a lot of people here on FR and elsewhere opposed as backdoor amnesty.
So while this is a very good thing on the micro level, its a brilliant move by the Obama Admin because on the macro level we’re going to see it thrown in our faces for continued opposition to the other “deferred” action/prosecution policies Obama is famous for.
A reasonable case can be made that people brought here as babies and raised here need not be sent back.
