Obama administration officials announced on Friday that they will propose a fix to a notorious snag in immigration law that will spare hundreds of thousands of American citizens from prolonged separations from immigrant spouses and children. [...]

Prepare yourselves for the inevitable howls of protest from the Republican presidential candidates, who, by way of those very same whiney stompy tantrums, will further alienate Latinos.
