re: Pretend I know nothing immigration; what is tonight's speech supposed to be abt?

quote:

---

There are a number of illegals living and working within the united states. Many of them have children that were born here or born to a U.S. citizen. Thus, while the parent(s) are illegal, the child is not. Or, at a minimum, the child was granted status to be a legal resident and not face deportation

The president proposes to issue an Executive Order that grants those parents relief from the expectation of deportation, PROVIDED:

1) they have not committed (other) illegal acts

2) They agree to file papers to received work privileges, and pay taxes, etc.


the rumors have specifically excluded any right to getting citizenship. Only that they can "come out of the shadows" and remain employed in the U.S and with their children
