Executive action on immigration

[GNH]

Well done Obama,

A illegal who broke American law and sneaked into the country 5 years back and then gave birth to citizen children who leached public resources their illegal parents did not pay for now have a unlimited work permit allowing him/her to work anywhere unhindered in the country.

But I who came 12 years back legally and also have citizen children who use resources both their parents pay taxes for have an extremely limited work visa which does not allow me the same unhindered work acess the illegal in the above example has now .Country governed by laws?
