The move could affect upwards of half a million immigrants, according to senior administration officials.

  • As a first generation american that came from Mexican parents that came here legally....we need to focus on America and America alone...when we are able then we can help others...but right now we are in a recession and a border crisis. If we don't take care of America then there will be no America for immigrants to come to
