WASHINGTON (AP) — The Associated Press has learned that Homeland Security Secretary Jeh (Jay) Johnson is considering limiting deportations of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally but without serious criminal records. On President Barack Obama's orders, Johnson is conducting a politically charged review of U.S. deportation policy.
The potential change could shield tens of thousands of immigrants now removed each year solely because of repeated immigration violations, such as re-entering the country after being deported. The change would fall short of deportation curbs demanded by activists frustrated by congressional inaction on immigration legislation.
The possible move was confirmed by two people with knowledge of Johnson's review:

Go ahead Harry, tell me that the rule of law exists in the US
But the full weight of gov’t will fall on Bundy.
They’re just now announcing something they started in January 2009?
Will the people stand for it?
Yes. They may yell and scream about it on the internet, but that is it.
Senator Harry Reid: “We can’t have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it!”
Ah, but he didn’t say a word about illegals. Unlike us, THEY are free to violate the law and then walk away from it.
Pathetic!
And those same leaders now wonder why Americans no longer respect the rule of law. Why should they? Our leaders spit on the law every day!
“Go ahead Harry, tell me that the rule of law exists in the US”
Your confused I fear. There is no US anymore only a third world dictatorship where it use to stand.
Maybe they’ll get them back down to George W. Bush levels.
Harry says Americans who break the law of the land are domestic terrorists
non-Americans who break the law of the land are victims fleeing an oppressive no-future culture we all have to appreciate and watch them celebrate over our own....
oh,wait
Federal jurisprudence has become a sad joke under the Obama clowns, from their judicial and prosecutorial appointments to their abuse of law and failure to enforce the law.
For 30+ years now, the government has made American citizenship pointless.
People are starting to see it’s NOT liberal compassion here - it’s the desire for cheap labor. Slavery-lite. Once democrats lose the illusion of the moral high ground, they’re toast.

Independents are already moving into areas where they might as well be Republican. We’re coming up on a tipping point.
The policy would be nothing less than a de facto agreement that (a) the majority of those deported for mere “immigration violations” have a right to be here in the first place and should not have been deported to begin with, and the first that conclusion is based on a corollary erroneous opinion that (b) legal immigration from countries providing most of the illegal immigrants is artificially too low, and the truth is that neither of those positions are supported by the facts.
whew.. good thing we didn’t elect Romney...
We are fast becoming a turd-world backwater. Ah well.. we had a nice run.
So the feds will, to the last bullet, fight any attempts to secede, but still reserve the right to flood our country with illegals from damned near everywhere.
We are so f***ed.
Curbing them? How can you curb what isn’t being done in the first place?
Curbing? When did the ramp it up in the first place? NEVER............
