Top Senate Democrats Stand Behind Obama On Immigration
Lead us home, back to our real American values, Mr. President.
Obama could announce plans for executive action on immigration as soon as this week. According to preliminary reports, the president is likely to allow millions of undocumented immigrants to stay in the U.S. and to receive temporary work authorizations. The plan could also make changes to the controversial Secure Communities enforcement program, allow immigrants with high-tech skills and their spouses to gain citizenship, and send more funding to police the southern border.
The Senate Democrats' letter specifically addresses some of these issues. It asks Obama to make enforcement "more effective, humane, and non-discriminatory" by, among other measures, "refining" the Secure Communities program. The letter also endorses plans to allow employers to sponsor "more talented immigrants" to become U.S. citizens.
Lead us home, back to our real American values, Mr. President.
