In March President Obama asked
Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson to "conduct a review of
practices to ensure that within the confines of the
law we are carrying out these policies in the most humane
way possible." However, on April 24, 22 Republican Senators sent
a letter to Obama warning that "the
changes under consideration would represent a near complete abandonment
of basic immigration enforcement and discard the rule of law and the
notion that the United States has enforceable borders." > |
