When I heard, and read, President Obamas immigration speech it reminded me strongly of the LDS churches official statement, particularly this part: The Church supports an approach where undocumented immigrants are allowed to square themselves with the law and continue to work without this necessarily leading to citizenship. In furtherance of needed immigration reform in the United States, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints supports a balanced and civil approach to a challenging problem, fully consistent with its tradition of compassion, its reverence for family, and its commitment to law. Ive only read one sides commentary, the opposition, on the legality of the Presents action, and they seem to be beating around he bush implying but not directly stating that it is illegal. To me thats a pretty good indicator that its not actually illegal, but that they really dislike the Presidents action. For the record, I really like the Presidents action, and am hoping that he stayed within the law and this gets enacted.
