President. I am grateful for the strong and eloquent words that were said by my colleague Senator BOXER. I am grateful to so many of my colleagues on this side of the aisle for supporting the President as he considers Executive action that would essentially enforce the law on immigration more rationally and effectively. which is what prosecutorial discretion means. As a former U.S. attorney as well as the State attorney general in my own State for 20 years. I know about prosecutorial discretion. I know that in exercising his discretion. the President is aware that there is simply no way every undocumented person in the United States of America can be deported tomorrow. let alone this yearprobably ever. There are 11.5 million undocumented people who live in the shadows. and the question is. How do we use the resources of the Federal Government most rationally and effectively to serve the public interest and uphold the rule of law? The question is. essentially.
