Congresswoman Hahn Applauds Executive Action on Immigration

Nov 20, 2014

San Pedro, CA-- Today, Congresswoman Hahn released the following statement regarding President Obama's announcement of executive action addressing immigration reform:

"The action announced by President Obama is welcome news that gives a measure of protection to millions of families.

The executive order will provide temporary relief from deportation so that American citizens do not live in fear of their families being torn apart by having a parent taken away.

It also focuses enforcement efforts on targeting ‘felons not families, criminals not children’. These are important steps but only a temporary and partial solution. We still urgently need comprehensive immigration reform, and Congress should act immediately to pass a bipartisan bill that helps our families, communities and businesses"
