We ask and implore the president to use the wide discretion that he has as the president of the United States to seek out these communities of people who are deserving and to grant them relief and sanctuary in the United States of America, Gutierrez told civil leaders at the City Club of Chicago.
Gutierrez and other Hispanic members of Congress met with Obama Tuesday and showed him a legal opinion arguing he has the authority without having to persuade congressional Republicans to tell his own administrative agencies to stop deporting immigrants whose only crime is coming to the U.S. without documentation or being brought here by their parents years ago.
A crackdown on deportation that started with a focus on those convicted of crimes expanded to anyone even arrested, acquitted or just picked up on suspicion of a crime, leaving 20-year-residents, some brought here as children, a traffic stop away from deportation, Gutierrez said.
Under President Obama, our nation is deporting 400,000 people a year. Thats 1,100 a day, an increase over the presidency of George Bush, Gutierrez said. Barack Obama is not focusing just on dangerous criminals in his crackdown. The numbers reflect increased deportations across the board. Its not just drug dealers. Its not just gang-bangers.

More expert advice from people who can't even run their own countries. Gutierrez runs away from the more important questions of "What do US Americans owe Latin America?"
It's not about immigration. It's about why should a country like the United States allow Mexico to force their people on us. Isn't that called "invasion"?
