Abe and Joe sift through the shambles that is American immigration policy
President Obama has built upon his predecessors' proclivity to use the federal government to remove undocumented immigrants from the country. He is, in fact, setting a new bar for deportations -- but most of those deported don't resemble the hardened criminals the administration claims to be afer. And much like our prison system, the business end of our immigration policy has fallen disproportionately upon men of color.
