With prospects for an immigration overhaul in Congress appearing ever dimmer, immigration advocates have been ramping up pressure on Obama to halt all deportations—a step the president has insisted he can’t take by himself. By announcing he’s open to changing how the U.S. enforces its current laws, Obama is signaling he may be growing more inclined to test the limits of his authority in the face of congressional inaction.

Obama’s announcement came Thursday in a meeting with three Latino lawmakers who are seeking ways to resuscitate an immigration overhaul despite resistance from Republicans and election-year politics that have confounded their efforts.

WHY "Seeking to pacify frustrated immigration advocates.." and NOT "Seeking to pacify nearly 70% of Americans who want the XL Keystone Pipeline, Obama gives go-ahead to the project" ???

Most humane would be to send their families with them, to alleviate the home-wrecking, nerve wracking hardships suffered by the “poor law abiding illegal immigrant*” when torn away from their (also mostly illegal) family.

*Yes, they regularly use that oxymoronic (emphasis on the moronic) terminology with a straight face.

Obama orders review of US deportation practices

What's to review?
If "practices" can't, or don't follow the pertinent law, or actually applies the opposite of its clear language, that must be one hell of a sloppily written law!

“Obama orders review of US deportation practices”.......

Pretty obvious to me he is looking for a loophole when his days comes to be “deported”.

Additional inform ation...

More humane deportation practices???

Well, I guess us giving them food, water and a ride back across the border, in A/C busses or other transportation needs (at our expense), is just more terrible than getting shot at, and killed, by Mexican border patrol and other nations to the south of them???

But no one seems to be getting their panties in a wad about that...
