Obama's Immigration

From the BBC:
"Obama ends young migrant deportations"

US President Barack Obama has announced an immediate end to the deportation of illegal immigrants who came to the US as children, describing the move as "the right thing to do". Those aged between 16 and 30 who have lived in the US for five years could now be eligible for work permits. But Mr Obama's Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, said it was the wrong way to approach the problem. Mr Romney said the issue should be dealt with by legislation, rather than an executive order "that can be reversed by subsequent presidents". The plan, which goes into effect immediately, is expected to affect as many as 800,000 people.

In order to be eligible under the new initiative, illegal immigrants must:

• have arrived in the US when they were under the age of 16
• have lived continuously in the US for at least five years
• be in school, or have graduated from high school or be honourably discharged veterans of the US military
• have no criminal record
• be under 30 years old.

^ Obama and Congress should go after their parents and deport them. They are criminals as they entered the country illegally and lived here illegally. This is just a political stunt to get people to vote for him - I hope it backfires. ^
