Proposed Obama Admin Immigration Rule Will Make Deportation Penalties Irrelevant ⋆ Dc Gazette

On Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security proposed a new rule that would broaden the group of people who have come into the country illegally, but for extenuating and compelling reasons are allowed to stay with a waiver.  This “law” actually was put into place in 2013 by executive order.  According to the Washington Free Beacon: “The action created a waiver that primarily allowed illegal immigrants with a U.S. citizen spouse or parent to stay in the country instead of having to leave the United States and be barred from returning for three or 10 years, if they proved their absence would create an “extreme hardship” for their spouse.”
