Renewed Push for Immigration Reform

President Obama and congressional leaders met on Tuesday to discuss strategy for a renewed push for Comprehensive Immigration Reform. President Obama will also address the American public on Thursday with a speech dedicated to the need to reform our immigration laws. Hopefully this renewed push will create the momentum needed to pass a reform. Also, Immigration and Customs Enforcement released a memo on Tuesday which lists the agency priorities for detention and removal. The memo indicates that the greatest emphasis should be on detaining and removing those who present a national security threat or a threat to public safety.
