W.H. on Harvey Response: ‘No Individual Human Being Should Worry About Their Immigration Status’

EXCERPT:

BOSSERT: “I think illegal immigrants, and that issue’s come up a number of times, if you’ve committed a crime, that’s the priority for the Department of Homeland Security. I think you’ve heard John Kelly say that pretty clearly, head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the head of CBP. What I would say, though, is in terms of immediate life-saving. No individual human being should worry about their immigration status unless they’ve committed a crime on top of coming here illegally when it comes to getting food, water, and shelter. So the authorities won’t be conducting any routine swipes or searches inside those shelters. Those are shelters for food, water, and providing kind of insulation against exposure."
