Obama's uncle was intoxicated when he was arrested, not exactly model citizen behavior, yet he was given back his license, and I'm sure he'll end up getting a Green Card too.

If these two not-so-upstanding individuals can end up with Green Cards, then why not do the same for Dreamers? It's very hypocritical of this administration to be quite honest.

Honestly, I think it's to put up or shut up.

What his advisers fail to realize is that having immigrant/Latino support is one thing. Turnout in November is another. And he can't bank on the fact that Romney said he supports self-deportation. Because we all know that once those debates hit Romney will Etch-A-Sketch himself to a moderate position and Obama will look the fool.
