$465 for Legal Status Under Obama’s ‘Dream Act’
ABC News ^ | August. 3, 2012 | Devin Dwyer

The Obama administration will formally begin granting some young undocumented immigrants legal status and work permits later this month under a controversial new policy first announced by President Obama in June.

The Department of Homeland Security today announced details of the application and approval process for the DREAM Act-like program, outlining specific eligibility requirements and a $465 fee. It will begin Aug. 15.

Illegal immigrants younger than 30 who came to the United States before age 16, have lived here for at least five years continuously, attend or have graduated from high school or college, and have no criminal convictions are eligible to submit requests for so-called deferred action (legalese for an official exemption from deportation).

The administration said documentation provided by each applicant will be reviewed individually on a case-by-case basis at one of four service centers run by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service. It’s unclear how long each review will take, but some immigrants are expected to receive temporary legal status before Election Day.

While the “dreamers” will not obtain a path to citizenship or the right to vote, Obama’s policy shift – circumventing Congress with executive action – has been widely seen as a politically motivated nod to Hispanics who have long sought the change.

Priebus is Romney’s boy ~ so he’s not about to have the RNC say anything.

There is no reason for them to oppose it. They want it.

So, let's say you have a young woman who was brought here as a 15 year old to work as a prostitute ~ and she's 20 and been here 5 years ~ she pays the government $465 and she can keep on working.

It occurs to me that I've found the most powerful motive for the Chicago crowd to put the big moves on Obama to do this ~ the prostitution angle.

Who can forget how Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod found it so easy to cough up prostitutes (or women of otherwise easy virtue) to make all sorts of claims about Mr. Cain.

It was absolutely amazing how many women like that they knew and could just trot them out like trained trick ponys.

"...younger than 30 who came to the United States before age 16..."
-
And just how will they prove this?
I guess they will have to SHOW THEIR DAMN BIRTH CERTIFICATES.
