A Step Toward a Dream - NYTimes.com - Editorial - The Obama administration’s decision to allow as many as 800,000 young immigrants avoid deportation and apply for work permits makes perfect sense. It wisely rescues blameless young people from legal limbo in an immigration system marked by dysfunction and toxic politics. - It is a decision by the Department of Homeland Security to provide limited and temporary relief to people who should not be deported anyway and to allow them to work legally. - For the young people who would qualify, the decision opens pathways to higher education, to careers, to fuller involvement in society that, until Friday morning, had been hopelessly blocked. - It is well within Mr. Obama’s authority to do this because the federal government can decide how to enforce immigration laws.
