Congress constantly fails to agree on regularising the status of those millions of people living in America without the proper papers. While in recent years individual states have taken their own measures to stop or arrest anyone suspected of being in the country illegally. But President Obama today announced a major change of policy that would enable as many as 800,000 illegal immigrants, many of them Hispanics or Latinos, to remain safe from deportation.
"Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine you've done everything right your entire life, studied hard, worked hard, maybe even graduated at the top of your class, only to suddenly face the threat of deportation to a country that you know nothing about. It makes no sense to expel talented young people who, for all intents and purposes, are Americans."
Well this change to the rules means they will be allowed to stay in America and work, if they can prove that they came as children, are under 30, have been enrolled in education and have no criminal history.首先，来看非法移民问题，美国政治策略中最有争议之一的非法移民问题在总统选举之年更为敏感。美国国会不停地否决让数以百万计无合法身份的移民逗留在美国的法案。最近几年，个别州政府已经采取了相应的措施来阻止或逮捕有非法移民嫌疑的人。
但是，奥巴马总统于今日宣布一项重大的政策变化，此项变化措施可使80多万非法移民免于被驱逐出境，其中许多是西班牙裔或拉美裔人。
“设身处地的为他们想一想。想象一下，你一辈子做事都中规中矩，努力学习，努力工作，或许甚至毕业时成绩拔尖，却要面对被驱逐到一个你一无所知的国家去的窘境。将那些有才华的，无论从哪点来看都是美国人的年青人赶回去是毫无意义的。”
这个规定的改变意味着他们将被允许继续呆在美国生活和工作，如果他们能证明他们在孩提时代进入美国，目前年龄不超过30岁，受过教育，且没有犯罪记录(这些人都将获得驱逐赦免权)。
