He is simply delaying deportation of those that have family members here legally or that are citizens, pending legislation that is promised but never delivered. I don't understand why this is upsetting? Do those opposed truly want parents of American citizens deported? What becomes of the kids? Do you want them deported too? I suppose it's reasonable to expect from people that laud an ancient that implored people to abandon their families in order to follow him.
It has the same effect. If the president can issue an executive order...say telling the government to stop prosecuting human traffickers and instead focus on prosecuting j-walkers.....it would have the same effect as making slavery legal. It has the same effect of changing the law.
The presidents job is to uphold the laws of the United States. His job is not too find ways to circumvent laws he doesn't like.
