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. Critics said Obama was pandering to the Hispanic population in order to garner votes, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. 

Is this move a relief for innocent children or a signal that illegality is condoned? Vote in the poll below, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
