Rep. Gutierrez: Obama Has ‘The Ability To Heal’ Millions of Illegal Immigrants

Dem. Rep. Gutierrez: Obama Has 'The Ability To Heal' Millions of Undocumented Immigrants (RealClearPolitics)

REP. LUIS GUTIERREZ (D-IL): Look, when you take a humanitarian crisis on the border, and you demonize and mock children, then its time for us simply to issue the red card and move on. So here's my point of view: If [Republicans] want to come back and discuss [immigration reform], fine, but in the interim period, I believe the president of the United States has already in statute, in the law, the ability to heal and put in a safe harbor millions of undocumented immigrants while the Congress of the United States finally decides it’s going to take action.
