I would like to have the answers to those questions. I would also like to know if the President has the powerwhich he said he doesnt have but now apparently he has changed his mindto issue this kind of Executive order affecting 5 million people? What about the other 6 million people who are in the country who did not come in in compliance with our immigration laws. who either overstayed their visas or came across the border illegally? I come from a border State. We have 1.200 miles of common border with Mexico. We encountered what was described as a humanitarian crisis because we had this magnet known as the impression that we would not enforce our laws that encouraged people to make that treacherous journey from Central America across Mexico. Many of these immigrants lost their lives. were sexually assaulted or kidnapped and held for ransomvery dangerous circumstances in the hands of the criminal organizations that basically control this business. This is a business for them. But if the President has the authority to do this for 5 million. why not the 11 million?
