Democratic pols praise Obama’s immigration fix
Reaction to President Barack Obama’s unilateral move on Thursday to change the nation’s immigration system is still pouring in from all corners of the political spectrum.
Two of Brooklyn’s Congress members, U.S. Rep. Yvette D. Clarke (D-Central Brooklyn) and U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-Canarsie-East Brooklyn), held a press conference on Nov. 21 to celebrate the president’s executive order.
Clarke and Jeffries are the co-chairs of the Congressional Black Caucus Immigration Reform Task Force.
