July 25:
“I'd like to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own.”
To the National Council of La Raza, “Believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. I promise you.”
Yesterday: "“We have redesigned our enforcement practices under the law to make sure that we’re focusing primarily on criminals, and so our deportation of criminals are up about 70 percent. Our deportation of non-criminals are down, and that’s because we want to focus our resources on those folks who are destructive to the community."
Translation: "We're going to ignore the immigration laws for some people now. This is in keeping with our policy of selectively enforcing whatever laws we want for whoever we want."
