fyi: Obama is mulling over several options: eliminating Secure Communities, which ropes local cops into enforcing federal immigration law; expanding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program by eliminating restrictions on how old applicants can be and when they had to have come to the United States; restating that the enforcement priority should be to remove criminals; expanding visa programs for immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens; and, perhaps the most controversial idea on the table -- giving deferred action to parents of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents.(that is what W wanted to do also) Do folks realize that executive amnesty is a contradiction in terms? There is no such thing. As head of the executive branch, the president can give pardons to individuals, but a mass amnesty for illegal immigrants is something that only Congress can authorize. Besides, no one -- in either branch of government -- has proposed this course of action for 30 years.
