A new break for immigrants? - Page 3

@Ianus: lol, that's hilarious ... if something had been done this year, that would have been 14 years after the 1996 law.

Don't forget though that Obama's re-election is in 2012 and he'll have to show something to the Latino community after all those promises he made during the campaign. With this memo, I think something can be done on immigration with or without CIR. Also, with this memo, they can do some very creative strategies to solve the immigration issue in Congress.

1996? I didn't come til 2001... oh no...

Yeah it would be kinda ironic lol,but the year isn't over yet & I also didn't include IIRIRA for a specific reason....it didn't include legalization provisions,unless we're due for some enforcement bill again [shudders at the thought] !

Rahm Emanuel was also the person that mentioned something along the lines of "The second term of a Democratic President" but if the memo is accurate there does appear to be murmurs of something going on.One must also ask why is USCIS also undergoing a re-organization currently.No worries,this is all just speculation at the moment.Realistically,I don't see the administration implementing something like this,especially during an election year.It is just what you would call a possibility.

I guess this was the Deferred Action they were referring to...of course with different circumstances
