Obama letting some immigrant 'dreamers' stay in U.S.

From the Arizona Republic:
In a stunning election-year gambit, President Barack Obama put Republican rival Mitt
Romney on the defensive Friday by relaxing the nation's deportation policy toward
hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants.... The overall political impact
of the decision on Obama's re-election prospects remains unclear. The new policy won't
drive away any voter who isn't already lost to the Obama campaign, one political expert
said, and it could put Romney in an uncomfortable position. "It will add to the message
that the Obama campaign already has been crafting to Latinos, that Obama is the stronger
candidate from their perspective," said Louis DeSipio, a political scientist at the
University of California, Irvine.
