Pandering? I remember when good policy used to be considered good politics. Times have changed, huh?

Good policy is in the eye of the beholder. Not everyone marches to the same beat and follows the same politics.
Globalists like you see this as good policy. Others that don't agree with rewarding illegals the right to stay here and work don't.

Centrists like me see it as good policy.

Good policy?? Its always been policy, DHS has had this ability since its conception. Obama simply came out with this like he owns it, except he doesn't, as these persons must still apply for deferred action (which they can't do unless they are in removal proceedings) and then they must apply for work authorization (again, which they can not do unless they are in removal proceedings).

Or will there be a "separate" set of rules applied to those who don't speak Spanish? I have seen it happen over and over....a Haitian student with limited English is placed in an ESL class....for students who speak English as a Second language...I go in the classroom....and the teacher is speaking Spanish! What?! Haitian kids don't speak Spanish! Why was this teacher speaking Spanish in a classroom for kids with limited English? Drives me crazy.

I doubt this will really be applied fairly.
I k now most don't care where the illegal is from just that they are illegal and breaking the law, taking jobs, costing taxpayers money that could be used for American legal citizens, Sending Billlions home mainly to Mexico that is money leaving our country and do you possibly think that is part of what is hurting us right now? 26Billion went to Mexico last year

Kings have a way of being overthrown. His days are numbered. His proclamations from his "castle" are as nonsesical and out of touch with US citizens as the words of the ill fated Marie Antoinette..."If those people are crying for bread, why don't they just eat cake?"

Why indeed...this action shows how out of touch you are with the folks who live in the US. The legal ones, that is....

What "good" policy? The only good policies are those that affect Americans postively. This sure isn't it.

Care to explain how a child who was brought here illegaly is breaking the law? Their parents broke the law not them! These kids played by the rules so why should they be punished?

As for "KING OBAMA"? why not? can we give him a nice hat and a cape?
