Wednesday at his speech to members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Labor Secretary, Thomas Perez said President Barack Obama will fulfill his promise to use an executive order to grant amnesty for up to 6 million illegal immigrants already living in the United States because he “has someone who has lived overseas, he understands that we are a global universe here in the United States and everywhere.”
Perez said, “When you look at the president on immigration, his commitment to this issue dates way back to his time in Illinois state government. Way, way back, because he has understood, and as someone who has lived overseas, he understands that we are a global universe here in the United States and everywhere. And he understands that we are a nation of immigrants, and we are a nation of laws, and we can be both. I have seen those values in action.”
