The most expansive immigration relief policy in 25 years will begin Wednesday, when thousands of young illegal immigrants in the Bay Area and nationwide are expected to apply for work permits granted by the Obama administration.

No lines will be forming at immigration offices in Oakland, San Jose and other cities. Instead, anyone interested must sign up online for work permits and protection from deportation. The forms are expected to be posted on the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services website Wednesday.

It's not just the online application that makes the new "deferred action for childhood arrivals" policy differ significantly from the largest ever immigration amnesty, which President Ronald Reagan signed into law in 1986. The new policy is an administrative directive from the Department of Homeland Security, not a law passed through Congress, and its benefits are more modest and less clear.

A more appropriate title is: "Biggest Scam in U.S. History Begins Wednesday." Since they're applying online, I suppose it will be pretty easy to fake being under 31, won't it?

The benefits for most Americans aren't "modest." They are non-existent. Millions of Americans are out of work in the midst of an ugly recession but Obama shamelessly panders to the racist demands of the selfish hispanic lobby.

That article is misleading. If you read the news on the USCIS homepage concerning the program, you will realize that you can't apply online. I'm sure you already knew that though.

This is disgusting, looking at the all out effort to put illegals ahead of the line.

The applications were posted earlier today HERE. It's inaccurate to state they're simply filed online though. Even if one elects to mail it electronically they have to mail by traditional mail the corresponding evidence.

No, actually I didn't. I know the forms are now available online. But, of course, I'll take your word for it.

They won't be verified, so it really doesn't make a difference whether they're processed online or mailed.

Truer words. The government is laying off, buying out and offering early retirement to reduce the number of its employees by the millions. The backlog of veterans needing assistance and collecting pensions, retirement, etc is astronomical. Additionally, DHS is in total disarray. Yep, the free for all citizenship, fraud and abuse will be off the charts. Say goodbye to America and our childrens' futures.
