This is good news, but not great news.

Basically Napolitano is kicking the can down the road on immigration. These individuals won't be deported, but they will live in a sort of immigration limbo for the next two years (until this issue really gets solved).

I guess the good news is that she isn't taking action on this issue because she assumes that comprehensive immigration reform will happen within the next year, and Congress will deal with it then. Fingers crossed.
