The White House will honor 10 young adults on Tuesday who came to the United States illegally and qualified for the president’s program to defer deportation actions.
Each person has qualified for the government’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program, which delays removal proceedings against them as long as they meet certain guidelines.
They will be honored as “Champions of Change,” the White House said in a statement Monday because they “serve as success stories and role models in their academic and professional spheres.”
They emigrated from Mexico, Colombia, Morocco, India, Taiwan and the Philippines, and many of them work in professions related to immigration policy or have helped launch initiatives that promote reform.
In 2012, President Obama created the program through an executive order, which defers any action on the status of people who came to the U.S. illegally as children for two years and can be renewed. It doesn’t provide any legal status.
People who qualify include those who came to the U.S. before turning 16, resided in the U.S. continuously since 2007 and people who are either currently in school, have graduated or received a certificate of completion for high school or were honorably discharged from the military.
Program recipients also cannot have been convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanor or three or more misdemeanors.
The event comes with the prospects for immigration reform dim, following the defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) in his GOP primary last week.
Obama had recently directed Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to delay his review of the government’s deportation policy in hopes that Congress could pass a reform bill by the August recess.
After Cantor’s downfall, however, many believe it is unlikely the GOP-controlled House will move on immigration ahead of November’s midterm elections.
They emigrated

Blow me Rombot.
It’s not that simple. Romney or Obama. Those are the choices you had. That’s it. There has to be one that disgust you more than the other, and when it comes to Presidential power, it’s worth getting off the couch to lessen the blow to our nation.
A better analogy might be to ask, if someone is holding a gun to your head and one is a pellet gun and the other a .357, which one do you choose? You just don’t have the choice to sit it out. Decide now, or certainly die. Unfortunately, our country chose death.
Hillary stunned a CNN audience on Tuesday by saying that the US should deport thousands of unaccompanied minors swarming at the border. "They should be sent back as soon as it can be determined who responsible adults in their families are. Just because your child gets across the border, that doesn't mean the child gets to stay," she warned parents south of the border
Betcha that statement was group-focused for voter-impact before she dared utter it.
As Ken5050 posted----we eagerly await Cong Gutierrez's response.
Classic Clinton triangulation. Pretty soon, she’s gonna comb her hair like Reagan and talk like Maggie Thatcher.
Then maybe those 4 million conservative would have joined the fight and voted!
= = = = = = = = = = = =
Don’t forget, some of the ones that Romney and crew destroyed, alienated the Candidate so bad that they nor their backers did not even think of raising a finger in ‘favor’ of Mitt.
WELL, other than ‘that’ one.....
1) "as soon as" in your quote "as soon as it can be determined who responsible adults in their families."
How will that be "determined" or how far will those illegal children be question when Holder's 1st response was to send scores of lawyer down to "defend" them.
2) Even more direct is her next sentence in the same paragraph of your quote“There are concerns about whether all of them should be sent back, but I think all of them who can be should be reunited with their families.” (LINK)
That's "I think all of them who can be" "reunited with their families" - EVEN if their families are illegally in the US.
