YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe White House is moving to greatly expand the Department of Homeland Security’s authority to deport millions of undocumented immigrants and to increase the number of immigration and Border Patrol agents by 15,000. We look at how President Obama’s deportation practices set the stage for today’s new crackdown. During his time in office, Obama deported a record 2.7 million people. In 2014, the head of the National Council of La Raza, Janet Murguía, called Obama the nation’s "deporterinchief." We speak to former Department of Homeland Security attorney Margo Schlanger and attorney Cesar Vargas, codirector of DREAM Action Coalition.
