The Homeland Security Department

WOW! DHS is really steppin up to help us get our approvals!

Oh, and btw, I'm posting this here because I believe this whole idea is politically motivated by the Obamanation Menustration!

All you guys that have been LEGALLY waiting for many months, and still not approved, be sure to vote!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Just three weeks after the Obama administration started accepting applications from young illegal immigrants seeking to avoid deportation and get a work permit, the government already has approved some of the roughly 72,000 applications the government has received.

The first wave of approvals comes months head of DHS' own estimates of how long the application process for the administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program could take — and less than 60 days before the Nov. 6 elections. According to an internal DHS document obtained by The Associated Press, the department's Citizenship and Immigration Services had estimated that each application could take several months to be completed.

While I am no fan of Obama I do believe he is the lesser of two evils come elections this fall. I will of course be writing in Ron Paul.

Regardless, in 2008 Obama campaigned promising to fix the immigration situation. While this isn't an amnesty, and it's not even a path to permanent residency or citizenship... it is a step in the right direction. I for one, praise Obama for getting this done. Like I said, I will be voting for Ron Paul, but I do admire Obama for at least moving immigration in the right direction and sticking to his word. Now it's time to get out of the middle-East... another promise he campaigned on. If he pulls out every troop we have in the middle-East by Nov 1, then I will consider voting for him. Ron Paul was the future America needed and needs, but I would much prefer to see Obama stay in office if Romney is the alternative.

That AP article is all over the map. Although part of an ongoing question elsewhere on VJ is being answered (that these DA petitions are being given priority for processing), there's still no firm answer regarding the effect on processing time of traditional (legal) petitions.

This was right move only to win the hispanic voters who are the majpority to be benefited from this deportation.

If Obama really wanted to fix something he had 2 yrs where Dems has majority in both house and senate instead he waited to pass something like this until the time of election.

These are legal petitions. Sorry. You might not like them but the petitions themselves are not illegal.

Sorry, this is illogical. How would Hispanic voters benefit from deportation, especially if such voters are (by definition) citizens and therefore not subject to deportation order unless their citizenship had been revoked?

[Ready to do it 101]

He promised progress. I'm glad he has succeeded with his promise, irrespective of when it happened. It would be a flawed argument to think that he is passing this for their votes as none of them will be eligible to vote anyhow. You have to be a citizen to vote.

If you prefer Obama to Romney why waste your vote on Ron Paul?

[Ready to do it 101]

1) I do not really care for Romney or Obama. They are both one in the same... spend, spend, spend. Nor do I think we have had even an average president, since Ronald Reagan. I will not vote for a president that supports any sort of military action on any soil outside the US for any reason.

2) I live in Texas. Obama will not win Texas.

3) I'd be shocked if Obama doesn't win the election by at least 300-238 delegates. I think it will be more like 325-213.

4) I'm in my 40's. In my voting lifetime, Ron Paul is the only candidate that has ever been worthy of my vote.

Yeah, in that case your vote is probably worth more going to a 'protest' candidate!

For any reason????

My prediction - MOST of the hispanic registered voters are gonna vote for him, and when it's all analyzed, 'they' will find that over 80 percent of the Registered Hispanic Voters voted for him, giving him a 64 percent 'take' in Texas, compared to MRomKnees.

Lets see what happens, aye?

There really are more registered Hispanic voters in Texas ...

[Ready to do it 101]

It wouldn't surprise me if most of the hispanics that vote, do in fact vote for Obama. The issue is how many people vote.

Of the registered hispanics that vote, sure maybe 80% will vote for Obama, but are you suggesting that 80% of Registered Hispanic voters are actually going to vote? You do realize in 2008, there were a total of 20 million ballots casted in the entire US. It is also a fact that the elderly and specifically white elderly have the highest percentage of voters. It would be pretty shocking to see even 20% of registered hispanics vote in an election. Albeit, if 20% of them did vote and 80% of them were to vote for the same candidate that would be a very big chunk of the total ballots cast in an election.

Regarding Texas, 12 years from now... yes there could be a swing in vote due to hispanics growing numbers. But right now, I don't see it happening...not in Texas.
