I am happy that President Obama has now decided to allow immigrants to stay who were brought here as children, at least, for two year intervals until hopefully something is done to make this permanent. It is the right thing to do, even if he did it for political reasons as indicated by it being late in the election cycle. These kids or young adults are culturally American, and some do not even speak the language of the country they came from. They were raised American.
I find some of the criticism disgusting. For example, we are setting a bad example. Since when are we so small a people and a country that we would persecute a few for the failings of their parents--not to mention the failure for years and even decades to enforce the laws, thus creating these American kids without a country.
Another criticism that makes my skin crawl is that issuing these people green cards places them in competition with those citizens how are already having trouble finding work. I find this gambit really nausiating coming from the politicians who empowered the banksters to meltdown the economy, and now these same politicians haven't a clue or desire to do anything about it (FDR created millions of jobs in a few months. Look up one Harry Hopkins if you want to know how.).
I am happy that at least Rhomney, whether for ethical or political reasons, is agreeing with this action.
