Wary of criminal record restrictions in Obama ‘deferred action’ policy for dreamers
Gay immigrants are mounting a campaign to demand that they be included in any unilateral moves President Obama makes this year to halt deportations, arguing that they face unusual circumstances that otherwise might leave them on the outside.
The demands pose a tricky test for Mr. Obama, who has made major inroads with gay rights groups during his time in the White House, but who will have to draw lines somewhere as he seeks to craft a more lenient deportation policy without canceling deportations altogether.
"We hope that he evolves and he gets it right, and he can push for the broadest deferred action or administrative relief as possible," said Jorge Gutierrez, an activist who made the case last week in an op-ed for the Washington Blade, a leading newspaper for gays.
Hispanic and immigrant rights groups want Mr. Obama to broaden his 2012 "deferred action" policy granting tentative legal status and work permits to so-called dreamers, or young adults who were brought illegally to the U.S. as minors, so it will include illegal immigrant parents whose children are either U.S. citizens or dreamers.
But the 2012 policy for dreamers excludes immigrants with major criminal records, and gay rights activists fear if Mr. Obama keeps those restrictions in place, it would end up excluding many members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community who, because of their lifestyles, end up with higher rates of criminal records, Mr. Gutierrez said.
Meanwhile, limiting any policy only to parents could exclude most gay illegal immigrants, whom activists estimate could total more than 250,000.
The White House has been reluctant to tip its hand on what it is considering, repeatedly dismissing reporters' speculation.

What about transgender illegal aliens? Can’t leave them out.
Deport them to Uganda .... Problem solved!
One time I lost my wallet and my car got towed from the Potrero Hill section of San Francisco:
I had friends in town but didn’t wish to trouble them —I’m the really independent type.
SF summers aren’t typically balmy but that night was OK and I slept in a freaking park..! Yeah, I don’t like to be the moocher and be all needy.
I found a big piece of cardboard, looked around and noticed a couple HUMPING in the park. Hot, huh…?
Ya know what? NOPE:
It was two DUDES —gross, huh? And they were illegal alien butt-pirates.
Illegals aren’t fine to import but if we do it why do we PREFER freaking illegal alien PERVS…?
I don’t understand this.
PARKS —not a gay stereotype.
FUGII
Wow! Illegals and demand in the same sentence, beyond bold.
What about homosexual midgets?
Obama could just grant amnesty to LGBT illegals.
Do we have to insert homxosexuality into every conceivable legal or public policy debate?? Really??? We have to measure how every proposal or existing policy and law impacts homosexuals?????

Faggots should be first on the deportation list ...
Gay AND illegal, That's a two-fer Obama and his libs. At least their reproduction rate is low.
Why does America have to get stuck with all of the fags? Barry needs to spread them around like he does our money!
I’m going to go down to Mexico and start demanding things. See how far I get. I’m going to go to a Mexican hospital and demand treatment for free, see how far I get. I’m going to take my kids to a Mexican school and demand that they feed and teach my kids in English. See how far I get. Going to go to a Mexican welfare office and demand food stamps and cheap housing. See how far I get. Then I’m going to apply for a tax refund with 50 dependents. See how much money I get.
Say hi to our Marine. . . .
The “key” words in the headline are “illegal immigrants”.
Makes no difference in they are gay or not, they are still ILLEGAL and should be deported. END OF STORY!
"But the 2012 policy for dreamers excludes immigrants with major criminal records, and gay rights activists fear if Mr. Obama keeps those restrictions in place, it would end up excluding many members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community who, because of their lifestyles, end up with higher rates of criminal records, Mr. Gutierrez said."So in this case, the gay illegals are also largely "major" criminals in other ways than immigration status.
But even more importantly, the "gay community" in general, portrayed as pillars of the American community and family people just like us are not quit what the comrades (controlling American media, government, education and law) are trying to tell us they are.
