The act doesn't say anyone is never going to be deported. All it does is prioritize the criminal and recent illegal aliens over law abiding illegal immigrants.
I believe there's some 7 million who don't have a chance to be covered by the act and we only have resources to deport about 400,000 a year.
So you'd rather break up a law abiding and taxpaying family because it's convenient versus spend your resources stopping people at the border or deporting violent criminals?
Why the House couldn't act on this is beyond me...oh what, I think I know
