America needs deterrents, not rewards.

Immigrants have a legal way to get into this country. ILLEGAL immigrants need to not be rewarded. There is a difference between legal and illegal. Get over it!

Don't you have anything better to do with your legal presence than to troll through internet forums? Obviously not. Your argument holds no water here or anywhere else. Right wing conservatives own your soul. You are either misinformed or just another sheep.

If you continue to be uneducated about the issues that you are talking smack about you will only hurt our movement. If republicans win we will most likely be getting shot on the streets by rednecks who think they're in some kind of white supremacy army. Seriously. Already there have been laws aimed to keep the latino vote down and you are still talking smack about democrats. Listen, not because the majority of one party supports a bill, doesn't mean all the party will vote in favor. We are the Democrat's constituency and if we continue to talk like this "man fk obama he ain't did do sh^t" we will FAIL. Its time to get educated, grab a damn book and learn how politicians kept the black people from voting after the 13th amendment passed. Turn on the tv, and look at how republicans are keeping blacks, latinos, and students from voting.

The bill failed last year, but if Obama doesn't get re elected we are practically screwed. What is the solution you offer? If you don't like this country or don't feel part of it, then stop commenting stupid blabbering and get the hell out, you are only hurting our cause.

I have a right to my opinions about him.

As for his re-election, I am fine with that IF and ONLY IF he does not make our lives a living hell with another stupid program.

We all want Obama to win (only choose). However, that doesn't mean we can't complaint.

Yes, exactly. I am not going to sit by and say, "Wow, President Obama you are doing a great job. Thanks for deporting undocumented people with no criminal history for minor traffic violations. You are EFEN awesome."

I really have no idea which issues you are talking about. The proceeding sentences do not clarify this statement either.

If you are referring to critics of Obama (such as myself), I really do not recognize anything beneficial that Obama has done for the undocumented community. Until Morton's (triple emphasis added) memorandum, all Obama did was terrorize our group. Sorry, I must be blind. So, please make me acknowlodge the good deeds that Obama has done for the undocumented community so that my unenlightened soul and other critics can stop being ungrateful. :- )

Morton's legal memo was proposed by the administration's USCIS Chief Counsel , Roxana Bacon informing HIM and HIS administration of available LEGAL options to protect individuals or groups from the threat of removal back in 2009.

From the NYTimes:
The memo outlined measures that the agency could take under existing laws to “reduce the threat of removal for certain individuals present in the United States without authorization,” instead of waiting for Congress to pass an immigration overhaul to give legal status to millions of illegal immigrants

According to the memo, one of those changes has been quietly put into practice since May. The new policy allows illegal immigrants who are spouses, parents and children of American citizens serving in the military to complete the process of becoming legal residents without having to leave the United States — a procedure that is known in immigration law terms as granting parole. The memo says agency officials approved the new parole approach “to preserve family unity and address Department of Defense concerns regarding soldier safety and readiness for duty.”

I noticed that the timing of the Morton memo was actually in accordance to the timeline recommended by the "administrative alternatives memo". Among other things; I believe they will soon create a "Deferred Action" form that can affirmatively be filed with USCIS (this was also a recommendation from the memo); see:

Ombudsman Recommendation: Recommendations on USCIS Deferred Action Processing

However, he held off on granting these for nearly two years for fear of political reprisal. How many people were placed in removal proceedings,without a single traffic ticket, who had been long-term residents, taxpayers, and could have avoided deportation and have been helped by these guidelines had this administration had the guts to do the right thing?
