As President Obama puts his post-election immigration plan into action — the one that’s expected to clear a path for citizenship for millions of illegals — his immigration czar on Tuesday said that the border is bracing for another surge of undocumented children, raising this year’s wave across the southern border to some 130,000 says The Washington Examiner.
Leon Rodriguez, the new director of U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services, and himself the son of immigrants, said that the federal government is already working to “prepare for another potential surge” across the border.
Part of that preparation includes a new focus on asylum requests and clearing the backlog of 400,000 claims.
