Washington Times<\/a>: President Obama\u2019s marquee deportation amnesty has been stalled by the courts, but the rest of his executive actions on immigration, announced exactly a year ago, are moving forward \u2014 including his move protecting more than 80 percent of illegal immigrants from any danger of deportation.<\/p>\n The amnesty, dubbed Deferred Action for Parental Accountability was supposed to grant full tentative legal status \u2014 including work permits, Social Security numbers and driver\u2019s licenses \u2014 to more than 4 million illegal immigrants. It has been halted by a federal appeals court, and its fate will soon rest with the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n But the rest of the dozen actions Mr. Obama announced on Nov. 20, 2014, are still advancing, including a far-reaching set of priorities that effectively orders agents not to bother deporting nearly all illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are 7 or 8 or 9 million people who are now safe under the current policy. That is a victory to celebrate while we wait for the Supreme Court,\u201d said Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez, an Illinois Democrat who was among the chief cheerleaders pushing Mr. Obama to go around Congress and take unilateral steps last year.<\/p>\n The actions \u2014 often mislabeled by the press as executive orders \u2014 also included changes to the legal immigration system, such as making it easier for spouses of guest workers to also find jobs; allowing foreigners who study science and technology at U.S. universities to remain and work in the country longer; pushing legal immigrants to apply for citizenship; and waiving the penalty on illegal immigrant spouses or children of legal permanent residents so they no longer have to go to their home countries to await legal status.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We know who’s trying to destroy our country.
