House Bill Sparks Battle Over Federal Immigration Policy

摘要

An immigration policy fight is heating up, with House passage of a bill to bar funds to carry out immigration directives President Obama announced in November. The bill also would end a 2012 deportation shield for illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children. The immigration provisions are part of a bill to fund the Dept. of Homeland Security through Sept. 30. The House cleared it on Jan. 14, largely along party lines.
