They are not enforcing their immigration laws allowing people (criminals, drug dealers, the sick and terrorists) from 142 countries to illegally enter the US daily.
@passantino @ARTSYJUDITH @UTsandiego Wonderful news!

In the United States, it has prompted calls for his release from politicians, veterans groups, conservative talk show hosts.
