Poll: Should Kids of Undocumented Aliens Be Spared Deportation?

Immigration exploded as a campaign issue Friday when President Obama announced a new policy on undocumented immigrants under 30: They won’t be deported if they have Dream Act qualities. Obama called it a “temporary, stopgap” action. Supporters cheered the policy as sensible and humane. Opponents jeered it as an “end run” around Congress.  Is this move a relief for innocent children or a signal that illegality is condoned?
