He said: I want you to act. but if you dont act. eventually I will have to act. Now lets look at what my Republican friends find so objectionable. To put it simply. the administration is creating a new deferred action for parental accountability. a program that provides deferred action on a casebycase basis to undocumented parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residentsthose who were present in the United States on November 20 of this year. those who have continuously lived in the United States for 5 years. since January 2010. and are not an enforcement priorityand also is expanding the program that already exists for DREAMers by expanding the age content. This isnt amnesty because amnesty means you did something wrong and you are forgiven and get whatever you want. Amnesty means you get something for nothing. First of all. these people have no pathway to becoming a permanent resident or citizen under the Presidents Executive order. Secondly. their only opportunity is not to be deported. assuming they can pass a background check and pay their taxes. As a result of the Presidents order. more people will go to the southern border to protect it. more people will pay taxes who may not be paying them now. more families will stay reunited. and more people who are in the shadows will come forward and go through a criminal background check. I would like to know who those people are. and I would like to make sure they dont have a criminal background. More criminals and felons will be deported because now it will be a priority to deport those individuals. What is wrong with that set of circumstances? So this is temporary relief as the Congress hopefully comes together on a more permanent basis.
