Now, I know the timing of this announcement is political, in light of the President's disastrous speech yesterday, but this is a good and humane idea. Children who enter the country as a result of their parent's illegal act ought not be treated the same as their parents. The children did not make the conscious decision to come here, they have assimilated, and if they are law abiding and productive, there is no reason to deport them.
Mr. President, you don't hear this very often from me, but good job. The Republicans should jump on board and support this.
We still need to control our borders, and apprehend and deport those who did intentionally come here illegally, but the President's policy announcement is a reasonable start on a workable immigration policy.
Thank you, President Obama.

See, I told you I would comment when he does something right. It just doesn't happen very often.
