Obama asks Congress to make it easier to send children back to Central America

Obama asks Congress to make it easier to send children back to Central America

On June 30th, President Obama asked Congress for "emergency supplemental appropriations legislation" to deal with and deport child migrants. (As reported by the New York Times earlier, the total request is expected to be about $2 billion.) Additionally, Obama asked Congress to make changes to the law to give the Department of Homeland Security "additional authority to exercise discretion in processing the return and removal of unaccompanied minor children from non-contiguous countries."
