Word is that the Obama administration is about to offer “deferred action” to people without legal status who:

• Are between 15-30 years old, and have entered before age 16 
• Have been present in the U.S. for 5 years as of June 15, 2012 
• Have maintained continuous residence
• Have not been convicted of one serious crime or multiple minor crimes
• Are currently enrolled in high school, graduated or have a GED, or have enlisted in the military

Practically speaking, this means the people who could have received protection under the DREAM Act will not be deported at this point. It doesn’t create a formal legal status or provide a path to citizenship—but it takes the pressure off until maybe, someday we can get congress to solve the problem correctly.

This is very, very good.

YES! AWESOME!
