Slow news days like weekends or holidays are the best time for the federal government to sneak in an announcement that would otherwise outrage the public. With immigration occupying the front and center stage, a pro-illegal alien policy decision that would rile up enforcement-minded citizens is best done in the cloak of darkness.
In its non-stop effort to eviscerate immigration laws, the Department of Homeland Security operating with President Obama's blessing posted an item in the little read Federal Register stating that certain aliens would soon be granted "unlawful presence waivers." Simply put, illegal aliens who can prove they have a U.S. citizen relative will get a waiver that allows them to remain in the country until their legal residency application is processed.
