After Eating Gandules in San Juan, President Obama Issues DREAM ACT Executive Order and Latinos Rejoice

So maybe the arroz con gandules and medianoche sandwich at the Kasalta in Santurce, Puerto Rico transformed President Barack Obama into a Man of Latino Action.

The June 17 memo that went out to US Customs and Immigration

YES, THAT IS WHAT HE DID. But guess what, the mainstream media has done nothing with this. Here is the ACTUAL DOCUMENT.

As The Examiner reports:

On Friday, the Obama administration issued a memo announcing that federal immigration officials do not have to deport illegal aliens if they are enrolled in any type of education program or if their family members have volunteered for U.S. military service.

This new policy of “prosecutorial discretion” was quietly announced on Friday afternoon, and completely ignored by the mainstream press.

Author of Arizona’s SB1070 and Kansas’ secretary of state, Kris Kobach, told the Daily Caller: “They’re pushing the [immigration] agents to be even more lax, to go further in not enforcing the law. At a time when millions of Americans are unemployed and looking for work, this is more bad news coming from the Obama administration… [if the administration] really cared about putting Americans back to work, it would be vigorously enforcing the law.”

Late last year, the so-called DREAM Act which would give legal residency status to millions of illegal aliens who attend college or join the military was defeated in the Senate.

Every major poll has shown that the American people are overwhelmingly opposed to the DREAM Act as well as to any other form of amnesty.

However, with Obama’s poll numbers plummeting, this use of his executive powers is seen as an obvious ploy to solidify the Latino vote in the 2012 presidential election.

Wow. This could get interesting.
