Not a good answer
When a high-level administration official says for the record that following the law is not the right thing to do, it’s clearly time for new leadership.
The most recent example of such a statement in the Obama administration came last week when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Sarah Saldana testified at a Senate hearing on immigration and the administration’s selective enforcement of it.
After it was noted that deportations have fallen for the last four years, Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz asked her to expound on her comment that ICE could deport millions but chose not to.
“You mentioned a minute ago that ICE could deport the 12 million people here illegally,” he said. “Why is it not doing so? Why is it not enforcing the law?”
