Thread: U.S. Cites Fast Pace on Reprieves for Young Illegal Immigrants

“Our nation’s immigration laws must be enforced in a strong and sensible manner, but they are not designed to be blindly enforced,” said Peter Boogaard, a Department of Homeland Security spokesman. “These young people do not represent a risk to public safety or security.”

Blindly enforced?? You come here illegally, you broke the law, you get deported! It doesn't matter if these kids present a risk or not, they came here ILLEGALLY and don't belong here!!

"The program does not provide any legal status, which only Congress can do through legislation.

Young immigrants said they had been surprised by the quick results. Evelyn Rivera, 24, who was born in Colombia but has been living illegally in the United States since she was 3 years old, said she applied on Aug. 16, the second day of the program. She is scheduled to give fingerprints next week."

If it doesn't provide legal status, then they shouldn't be allowed to take our damned jobs or do anything else.

Miss Revera is 24 and had time to come through the proper channels. It's like they wait to get handed privilages on a silver platter or something.
