This article helped to clrify what Obama is doing regarding illegal immigration. However it does not provide any why he is doing it. We can all speculate on his purpos(s).

I thought the following paragraph copied from the article is most disconcerting:

“It is tremendously harder now to deport even criminals, much less garden-variety illegal aliens. They have truly dismembered the immigration enforcement system, from the Border Patrol to the immigration courts,” said Jessica Vaughan, policy studies director at the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for stricter immigration controls.

Read the full article. Then offer an opinion why Obama has placed such a high priority on such a controversial, unpopular stance.
