five million people living illegally in the US can escape deportation

There really is no feasible way to stop illegal immigrants from coming in. The border with Mexico is too long and there a thousands of miles of entry points from Miami to California. What is the US going to do ? Build a wall. So many people don't leave after their visa expires. I know because these people beg my father for employment so they can get a green card. While I don't agree with Obama making it easier on them when they broke the law, what can the government really do?

Did  your father own a corner store like the Kwik  E Mart and is he related to Apu from the Simpson  ? 

LMAO. No pal my dad owns 3 grocery stores in NY. Small businesses which survived against big companies like Walmart and Shop and Stop and Costco because he is business savvy and has a sound financial mind. He knows how to get people to come back. He hypnotizes ignorant fools like you into buying a 6 pack of Corona and a carton of whatever nancy boy cigs you smoke for 1.5x the price you would pay at the retail chain across the street. 

Hey Kwami at least Apu has that hot wife Manjula with that smoking body. Carl has his boyfriend Lenny.  ::love::

Good point.

Thread had a lot of promise before Gwami posted in it.  ;D

These past two years at least one group of marginalized pro-immigrant group began focusing on President Obama. They knew they could eventually shame him into changing policy via executive action. Their strategy worked.

Now, just as expected the republicans decry being cheated the legitimate political process of addressing immigration reform. The president's answer was, "Pass a bill!" They still have the opportunity to make legally address reform.

President Reagan gave amnesty to illegal immigrants. He repeatedly did that in 1987. That proves that those pesky Republicans are using a double standard to criticize President Obama. Additionally, the current president's executive order is only temporary; therefore, he did not grant amnesty like Reagan had.
