The Obamas are used to this and will press on. I'm happy that she can delay the leaving home moment and enjoy the time with her family. It just kills me that people have such hatred for such a gracious and hardworking family.

Hardworking, yes. Gracious, I don't see it, they have made racial relations worse than they have ever been -- even my Latino and Asian friends talk about our "Deporter-in-Chief" in very surprising terms.

This can't be real. Yes, the Obamas, a black family made racial relations worse. Yup, worse they they have ever been. Worse than when black people were treated as property and not humans. Yup! The Obamas did that.

Yep, it can't be real that a black President with a community organizer background and an immigrant father has deported more people and broken more families than any other President in modern history....but, black or not, that's exactly what he has done, and his main legacy in the minds of millions of (perfectly legal, thank you) immigrants.

My folks weren't here 200 years ago so I can't compare then with now, but I can say that many non-black minorities see racial relations now the worse they have been in several decades, and President Obama has played a significant role in it.

What is real is the definition of "deportation" has changed, so that it looks like Obama has deported more people than any other President in modern history. I wish people would check facts before posting.

http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-obama-deportations-20140402-story.html

But the portrait of a steadily increasing number of deportations rests on statistics that conceal almost as much as they disclose. A closer examination shows that immigrants living illegally in most of the continental U.S. are less likely to be deported today than before Obama came to office, according to immigration data.

Expulsions of people who are settled and working in the United States have fallen steadily since his first year in office, and are down more than 40% since 2009.

On the other side of the ledger, the number of people deported at or near the border has gone up — primarily as a result of changing who gets counted in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency's deportation statistics.

The vast majority of those border crossers would not have been treated as formal deportations under most previous administrations. If all removals were tallied, the total sent back to Mexico each year would have been far higher under those previous administrations than it is now.

Why didn't you all rally behind the Hispanic presidential candidates, Cruz and Rubio? They would have clearly made things better.

And why would a biracial Asian & Latino independent rally behind Cruz or Rubio? Perhaps you need to get out a bit more and learn about the 15 million Asians and 55 million Latinos in the US. We care about issues, not race.

But you definitely don't care nor respect the immigration laws of this land. Other than ignoring immigration laws, what other laws would you like ignored?

You know this land did not belong to your ancestors, correct?

Drop the pseudo-moral act, and demand a serious immigration plan.

NP--actually it did belong to some of my Native American ancestors. However, it didn't belong to any of yours. Btw, I won't demand "a serious immigration plan" because that issue isn't important to me. You sound awfully entitled, and it makes me completely unsympathetic to your cause.

If you knew me in real life you would know that my granddaddy belonged to the Cherokee nation. His people were treated like shit. Which nation did your granddaddy belong? A serious immigration plan is defined as what exactly? Your definition is open borders. Funny thing, why should the US be the only country in North and South America with open borders? Mexico definitely close their borders. I can't just move to any central or South American country and demand that the country make me a legal citizen because I overstayed my visit, or slipped into the country undetected. Yet, you make this demand of the US. Do you think China, Japan, Afghanistan, Vietnam or any other Asian country would just allow mass migrations into their countries? Yet, you demand this of the USA. GTFOH.

I could be wrong, but is an acceptance on condition of a gap year a typical admission given to developmental cases?
i.e. kids who have to be admitted based on

Why is this such a hot topic everywhere? Shouldn't this be fairly non-controversial?

Ummm no not at all. Check their website, it's encouraged for any high school senior.

People are so anxious to discredit this girl.

I couldn't agree more. Fortunately, she and everyone in her family don't give a flying sh*t about DCUMers issues with her going to Harvard. Count on it that there would NOT be over 20 pages on this matter if Malia were white.

And I wish lazy people would do a little research before posting. There are numerous internet articles on the advantages of gap years and what colleges recommend and what some offer in the interim for gap students.

Assuming decent grades/SAT scores (which I'm sure we have here) the child of a president is never a conditional acceptance.

Congrats, one of your ancestors was Native American. What about the others?

A serious immigration plans means that, a serious immigration plan. A clear and rational process to get a work permit and/ or permanent residency and/ or citizenship eventually. That allows multiple options to qualified individuals, based on clear criteria, and decided on a timely basis. Most developed countries, from Canada to Europe, have such a plan in place.

In the absence of that, you get the Wild West, which is what we have now.

I initial thought on her taking a gap year was that (for security & other reasons) they wanted to whole first daughter frenzy to die down a bit before she went off on her own, since he only has a few months left in office. I actually thought it was a pretty smart idea.
