Obama acts to spare many youths from deportation
President Barack Obama eased immigration enforcement, offering hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants a chance to stay and work. The plan bypasses Congress, targets those brought to the US before age 16 and under 30, with five years in the country, no criminal history, and a high school or GED or military service. It aims at up to 800,000 people, granting two-year work permits and renewal. The move, in an election year, drew praise from Hispanics and criticism from Republicans including Mitt Romney who said the measure complicates a long-term solution.
