Should Obama Slow Deportations?

Though it will likely be considered insensitive, for what possible reason should we reduce the deportation rate?

CNN Should Obama use the power of his pen to turn the tide on immigration reform?

These people violated the American borders without the proper documentation or over stayed their documentation.  It is good if they are working, responsible and law abiding, however it is somewhat immaterial.  They are either taking jobs that American citizens or legal immigrants could be doing and/or they are enabling lower wages...

Then there is that little detail...  A polite rule abiding "non-line budging" legal immigrant is likely being delayed entry because of our large illegal population.

Thoughts?
