A Dream Realized

The President today announced that, effective immediately, deportations of Dream Act eligible young immigrants would cease.  The policy applies to immigrants no older than 30 who arrived in the US before they turned 16, have no criminal record, and have either gone to college or served in the military.  Those who qualify will not be granted legal status, but won't be deported and will be able to get work permits.  Congress has never had the balls to deal with immigration in a meaningful way, so the President acted.    

During the announcement, the President was rudely interrupted by Neil Munro, a reporter of sorts for the bullshit wingnut website Daily Caller.  Here's the clip:

This is the right thing to do. Obama just won reelection.
