This is big, big news — both in policy and political terms: President Obama is pushing through what amounts to a mini-Dream Act by executive order *.
Late Update: It turns out it’s not technically an ‘executive order’ but rather a ‘DHS directive’; but same difference in as much as it’s a move the administration can make unilaterally.
This was a doubly clever move by the Obama administration. Over and above the obvious appeal to a key constituency, the policy here mimics, I assume intentionally, what Republicans claim they want to adopt in a scaled-down version of the DREAM Act. But for Republicans, embracing Obama’s move carries the same risk with their base as rejecting it does with immigrants — the voting bloc they’re most concerned about alienating. A hunch: prepare yourself for a deluge of condemnations of executive-branch overreach, paired with real reluctance to say anything meaningful about what the directive actually accomplishes.
