Gov. Rick Perry has told state agencies that the Obama administration's new program allowing some illegal immigrants to avoid deportation is "a slap in the face to the rule of law," and clarified that Texas' immigration policies won't change. Under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, students age 30 or younger who are enrolled in school on the day they apply will now be eligible for a two-year reprieve from deportation if they demonstrate they came to the U.S. before their 16th birthday; lived in the country for the past five years; and have not been convicted of certain crimes or pose a national security threat. Last week, young people around the nation formed long lines to attend information sessions and briefings on the new program. A spokeswoman for the governor, Catherine Frazier, said Monday that even though the policy won't alter state law, Perry has been very clear in opposing it.
