President Barack Obama did exactly what he said he was going to do tonight and signed ( or said he would sign ) an executive order granting some four million plus undocumented immigrants some deportation relief. He did not in any way give these people amnesty or citizenship, he just will allow a HUGE group of people to come out of a shadow economy, and into a good solid tax paying one.
He also makes it much much harder to break up families. Children that were born here to undocumented parents don't have to fear coming home to an empty house. It was 100% the right thing to do, and something that the GOP in the past had supported when George Bush floated similar bills - but that was then this is now.
It is also very similar to action the both Presidents Reagan and Bush I took while in office, but you know....
I have culled all , or most of the right wing crazies from my Facebook feed , so I did not get a lot of SKY IS FALLING / HE IS THE DEVIL tonight, although I did wander over to some known nut cases just to see how foamy their mouths had become tonight. ( pretty darn ). POTUS made me very proud tonight, a little tonic that we much needed.
Ill post some reactions from folks tomorrow.
