I don’t think anyone’s posted about the Obama administration’s decision to review pending deportation cases and use prosecutorial discretion on non-violent cases and cases of children of immigrants:
But White House officials and Congressional Democrats said they expected the measures would lead to relief during the coming year for virtually all young illegal immigrants facing deportation who might have won legal status under a bill called the Dream Act. A proposal to benefit illegal immigrant high school graduates who came to the country before they were 16, it failed in the Senate last year.
If that’s too Obotic for you, even Kevin Drum agrees with Brad DeLong that there were things the Obama administration could have done to help the economy, but didn’t.
