Deferred Action for 7-Eleven Thieves (DA7-11T)

Let’s say a mayor of a town decides he is not going to use the police to arrest people who rob 7-Elevens. Then, say he makes it an official policy, names the new policy Deferred Action for 7-Eleven Thieves and even assigns an acronym (DA7-11T) to that policy. (Nothing in government is official until it has an acronym.) And say he advertises the new policy on the city’s official website.

Now, you are probably not a Yale and Harvard grad, but what do you think would happen? Do you think there would be an increase in 7-Elevens robbed in that city? Do you think criminals from other cities would come to that city to rob 7-Elevens? And what would you think of the mayor who would take such a irresponsible action?

What Is DACA
On June 15, 2012, the Secretary of Homeland Security announced that certain people who came to the United States as children and meet several guidelines may request consideration of deferred action for a period of two years, subject to renewal. They are also eligible for work authorization. Since this new policy was enacted there have been a flood of children illegally entering the U.S. The president says that this increase in illegals has nothing to do with his policy. He says because of the humanitarian crises that has been created, Republicans need to implement the immigration reform he has been promoting (for a related topic see Killing Mosquitoes).

Does Obama think Americans are stupid? Or maybe the real question is, are Americans that stupid?
