Immigration Picks
I saw this story originally over at Immigration Prof. where there appears to be a choice of appointed officials to head ICE & CIS.Respectively,The article mentions John T. Morton as heading the Immigration & Customs Enforcement agency & Thomas E. Perez heading Citizenship & Immigration Services.
Quote:
Immigrant advocates say the White House and the Department of Homeland Security have nearly finalized their choices to lead two major immigration agencies. For DHS assistant secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, all signs point to John T. Morton, a career Justice Department official who has overseen complex immigration and terrorism cases -- most recently as chief of the Domestic Security Section.
For Citizenship and Immigration Services, sources tell our colleague Spencer Hsu that Maryland Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez appears to be the pick. Perez, a key player in Obama's transition, was a top official in the Justice Department under President Bill Clinton.

I just hope they are efficient with any process they undertake should Dream pass since they will be primarily responsible for executing the regulations & the benefits that come with it. |
