This sounds like more liberal propaganda. Obama is trying to create the impression that enforcement is working, which is supposed to be the precondition for comprehensive immigration reform, i.e., amnesty.
It definitely is precisely that, and if you listen to the audio you will barf. This is spoon-feeding for liberals. The illegals have "sad eyes" and they are "friendly" and they mourn the death of the one who drowned swimming the Rio Grande, blablabla......
I don't trust for one minute that enforcement is up that much. Something smells like pedo.
It's from NPR, all liberal propaganda, all the time.
It's very likely that is the motive behind this. In my wife's place of work )a private company) they just sent out letters to all employees who are supposed to be legal, stating that if their current legal status expiration date arrives and they have not shown proof that their status is extended, they will be terminated immediately.
That makes me think that this company believes that DHS is getting serious, at least temporarily.
