In a further sign of the desperate lengths our leaders will go to in order to shore up votes for themselves and retain power, the Obama administration has announced a new immigration policy many believe is patently designed to help him stay in office.
thehill.com | The Obama administration announced Friday it will stop deporting illegal immigrants who come to the country at a young age.
The politically charged decision comes as Obama faces a tough reelection fight against Republican Mitt Romney, and Hispanic voters in swing states will play a crucial role in the contest.
The change in policy could allow as many as 800,000 immigrants who came to the United States illegally not only to remain in the country without fear of being deported, but to work legally, according to a senior administration official speaking to reporters Friday.
