A gift from your friendly POTUS

The Associated Press wrote last week about the program announced by President Obama to give away the store. Obama announced a program to allow illegal "young" people in the US to apply for two-year, renewable work permits.

How is "young" defined?

"Eligible applicants must have come to the U.S. before they turned 16, be 30 or younger, be high school graduates or in college, or have served in the military, and they cannot have serious criminal records. They also must have lived in the U.S. since June 2007." (Source: AP article by Elliot Spagat)

So, let's see. If they must have lived in the U.S. since 2007 and they had to come to the U.S. before they turned 16, what do you suppose the "must be younger than 30" requirement is all about? The oldest could only be about 21, since his 16th birthday would have had to be in or before a June 2007 date. What else did they get wrong?

How many people might benefit? The article says that up to 1,700,000 may qualify.

The program began August 15, and already 82,000+ applications have been received. The Feds anticipated the rush, of course, so they geared up and have approved the first 29 applications. Yep! That's what the article said. Twenty-nine (29).
Eighty-two thousand applications already. One million seven hundred thousand possible qualifiers. Twenty-nine applications approved.

This is our Federal Government at work...
