34,448 Illegal Immigrants Spared Deportation

Jean, that is an important observation and suggests another strategy to stomp out illegals in the upper education system.

Where are these graduates going to get jobs? They can't become citizens and they can't seek employment. Anyone who hires them is breaking the law. If we can't stomp them going in to the educational system, we can at least stomp them going out.

What sense does it make paying for the education of illegal immigrants if they can't use the education they get? But here is a potential argument in favor: The upper education illegals get serves to advance them in their country of origin. But that doesn't make any sense either. Say you were to pay for illegals upper education on the assurance they would leave upon graduation. But we can't throw them out now as they enter upper education. We really should be able to throw them out as soon as we can see they are illegals when they apply for an education. But we can't even do that. The whole thing is turned completely on its head. Instead of having the opportunity to throw them out, we are obliged to pay for the education they applied for. How does anyone know that they are illegal when they apply?

But we at least have some momentum in policing the hiring of illegal immigrants and we can make a special effort to hunt down those exiting the upper education system as they try to look for jobs to punish those who would hire them.

This rat wants to become an immigration lawyer. But what is the possibility of an illegal getting a license to practice law in the US. Is that possible?

Here is another case that Holder is trying to use to stop deportations.

"This was an extraordinary measure by the Obama administration and demonstrates a clear commitment to nullify the Defense of Marriage Act," Mundy said of Holder's action. "It's a far-reaching victory not only for same-sex couples but for immigration reform."

The Obama administration in February said it would no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court.

Holder wanted the immigration judges to reconsider the case before the federal appeals court took up the gay couple's constitutional challenge, said Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler.

People who are facing deportation can ask immigration judges let them stay in the U.S.

To qualify for a "cancellation of removal," a person must have been in the U.S. 10 years and have a qualifying relative, such as an American citizen spouse or children. The person also must show good moral character and that the deportation will cause "exceptional and unusual hardship" to the qualifying relative.

Lavi Soloway, a New York immigration attorney and founder of Immigration Equality, a group that advocates for the immigration rights of gay couples, said he considers Holder's decision good news for gay people. Gay couples are barred from sponsoring their partners for immigration visas and denied other immigration benefits provided heterosexual couples.

"This is the right path. Until Congress can pass legislation to remedy this, the executive branch can and should act," Soloway said.
