During an online question and answer session, President Obama, the nation’s first undocumented president, said he wants undocumented non-presidents to succeed in America.
CNS News relates the exchange:
The exchange came during a town hall event sponsored by the Spanish-language television network Univision at a Washington, D.C., school. An illegal alien student, who appeared via Skype, asked: “My question for the president is, why [is the government] saying that deportations have stopped or the detention of many students like me, why is it that we are still receiving deportation letters like this one?”
Obama answered, “We have redesigned our enforcement practices under the law to make sure that we’re focusing primarily on criminals, and so our deportation of criminals are up about 70 percent. Our deportation of non-criminals are down, and that’s because we want to focus our resources on those folks who are destructive to the community.
We’d like illegal aliens to succeed, too. Succeed in crossing the border back to wherever the hell they came from.
