[quote=Feenmi;232700]I'm with you, buddy. People (not all) on this forum feel that because it doesn't benefit them personally, that this is all crap news, the same "lip service" to the immigrant community, or what have you. I am just as disappointed as you are in this Obama and in the way he has handled immigration. But at least he took a slight step in the right direction, even if its political, it will help somebody out there.

This is VERY good news for that one undocumented person that had no other avenue to fight their deportation case. Nothing will happen over night. And nothing will happen for a mass number of undocumented without legislation from Congress. Let's face the truth. But God forbid anything would ever happen to any of us on this forum, especially for those of us that would have a particularly weak case in immigration court, this will be something that we will be able to use. Let's count our blessings.[/QUOTE]

Yes! Also, I have not heard a story of a DREAMER being a victim of unjust deportation since this announcement. Sure, some immigration officials will be "corrupt" by intimidating you and talking trash with the hopes of making you feel helpless and getting you to sign your own deportation, but we need to be smart. We need to remember the significant announcement that was made about two weeks ago, remain silent, get a lawyer, and fight deportation if we ever find ourselves detained.
