Poll: Agree with Obama's New Immigration Policy?

Tell us if you think he's right to stop deporting younger undocumented immigrants and grant work permits.

Younger undocumented immigrants scored a victory today as President Barack Obama announced his support to end their deportations and begin granting work permits for some eligible students, The Huffington Post reports.

The Dream Act allows undocumented indviduals who attend college or serve in the military and are in good standing a path to citizenship. It passed in the House of Representatives but failed in the Senate in 2010.

Close to home, we've heard from residents in and about how the Dream Act would change their lives for the better.

Do you agree with President Obama's new immigration policy? Why or why not? Please tell us in a comment below.

I think this is just anouther reason why he should be removed from the office if the NDAA 2012 wasn't enough with the ability to arrest and detain US citizens without just cause or habeas corpus and hold them in prison camps wow. Also the FAST AND FURIOUS scandal trafficking guns to drug lords in Mexico to try and kill the second amendment causing deaths of boarder patrol agents what a slap in the family's face to then say go ahead and let the illegals come in it's ok when is someone going to stand up for the USA and arrest and detain the treasonous non us president Barack Obama!!!!!!!!

This is not a presidency but a dictatorship and this fool in the White House will play the race card to the end. If your illegal then your illegal age has nothing to do with it and they need to send them back to Mexico or wherever they are from. How about obeying the Constitution like you peopel hired him to do. If he was working on the outside he would be fired for not following the company rules. He is a traitor to this country and should be in jail.

It's the Nightmare Act on Americas streets.

The election of Obama will stand in history as the greatest mistake any electorate has ever made and it will be years before we will no the full extent of the damage he has called with his radical policies.
David June 17, 2012 at 01:42 am
We don't have a say in the election process look at what is going on with The Don Romney having thugs beating up delegates and breaking there bones to intimidate them.

You folks are racists! What Obama did is for the children.
David June 17, 2012 at 04:44 pm
How is upholding the constitution and our country's laws being racist. Upset at the way our Presadent bypasses the congress for everything yes I am guilty as charged. That's how we give our country away a little bit at a time and if you think that Obama did anything for the kids you have bigger issues, if it makes you feel better I was against Bush for all the unconstitutional crap he pulled as well. Your comment is accusing without support!!!

If this isn't the most racist thing ever I don't know what is. If Romney, Paul, or anyone else running for the Presadent made a video saying vote for us cause were white they would be shut down by every news agency in the country.

Congress cannot and will not do anything about this issue. And it is about the children. Our country has changed. We all come from immigrants and we need them for our most basic jobs. Once the children of immigrants get a good education they can do better than their parents. That is the dream in this country. That is not going to be given away...I hope. People are so angry...which comes from fear.
David June 18, 2012 at 12:51 am
Our country has changed your right when the president can knowingly be apart of buying guns in the USA from dealers then send them down to Mexico to drug lords that then kill men, woman, and children and try and blame it on the second amendment, then go on and sign executive orders that aids criminals in there efforts to stay in this country that is dictatorship you are a communist in your thinking if you are ok with one man making decisions in a democracy bypassing all the separate parts of government.

When someone is managing a large government as ours is people are bound to screw up. Happens in every business and organization. Look at Bush and the lack of intelligence about Iraq. I have lived under dictatorships in Spain and Portugal. Believe me Obama is no dictator.
David June 18, 2012 at 07:43 pm
With bush there was no lack of intelligence he didn't have it it was manufactured crud so he could go to war. He was at least as bad as Obama with the patriot act.

You guys are all off point here.
Its not about Obama (not a fan btw) or Bush (not a fan of either). Its about having people in our country that contribute to the whole instead of take away from it. If there is a kid that comes to america at an age under 16, graduates from an american high school, and serves in our military I view that person as a solid person who has made america better. That person should no be sent back to Mexico with nothing. That person should get a job and pay taxes just like everyone else. Gang members and people who use drugs or commit crimes should be sent back to mexico. Big difference.
David June 19, 2012 at 12:08 pm
My question is if the person is illegal how did they get in the military to begin with it should never happen. And if they are here illegally they should not be getting educated without proper documentation we are paying for this all of it. If anyone feels they want to pay for someone's school they should take money out of there check and pay for and not ask me to. Our country is headed for collapse just like Europe and we have to cut out 90% of government support now or the USA is going down like the titanic with people like Obama, Bush, Romney at the helm stearing us into and iceberg.
Adam June 19, 2012 at 01:44 pm
Hey David... Its just a thing called the constitution.
its kind of a big deal. Check it out sometime!
David June 19, 2012 at 04:31 pm
Please inform me what part of the constitution your referring to cause last I check the laws are very clear on illegal citizens.
Adam June 19, 2012 at 04:46 pm
Wow... Ok david. I'll do your homework for you.
Look up Plyler vs. Doe. The Supreme court is best interpreter of the constitution. There is no higher authority. You can have your opinion but they decide what is "right". Next look up the 14th amendment…. I'm sure you disagree with the Supreme Court but try to remember how much of an expert of Law they are.

Here is a link to the only part of the consitution that speaks of what you are talking about and no where in it or the 14th amendment speaks of it. Your right the constitution is a big deal that's why I always get on here and disscuss it. There are laws every day passed that are unconstitutional this is why our country is in bad shape hope this info helps you understand our country a little better maybe you can pass this info to the person who misinformed you.
David June 19, 2012 at 05:00 pm
Clearly the supreme court is not the best at interpreting the constitution there are liberal judges put in place that don't have this countrys best interest in mind.
Adam June 19, 2012 at 06:39 pm
so... if the supreme court is not the best at interpreting the constitution who is? You?
I'm assuming you are a judge or some sort of lawyer who has studied constitutional law for years and have a deep understanding of the theories of Con Law.
David June 19, 2012 at 07:10 pm
The facts are on the table for you if you want to understand if not I can't help you any further have a good day.
