President Asking for Billions in Border Aid and to Fast-Track Deportations
All of a sudden, he's worried about our border security
President Obama announced today that he will bypass a stalled Congress and use his executive power to start fixing the nation's immigration system.
"The failure of House Republicans to pass a darn bill is bad for our security, it's bad for our economy and it's bad for our future," he announced today in the Rose Garden. "America cannot wait forever for them to act, and that's why today, I'm beginning a new effort to fix as much of our immigration system as I can on my own, without Congress."
Obama's first moves will include mobilizing the department of homeland security and ordering the attorney general to move resources from the interior to the border in an effort to "refocus our efforts where we can to make sure we do what it takes to keep our border secure."
