The agency has started distributing food along the Uganda-Kenya border.

His proposals adhere to the basic formula we believe is best: reducing shoring up boarders and reducing the incentives to immigrate illegally while bringing undocumented workers already in the country out of the shadows with a demanding path to citizenship. While Obama is in favor of increasing border enforcement beyond what we feel is necessary—for instance he voted for a border fence—we recognize that limiting the flow of illegal immigrants is a political prerequisite to immigration reform. Finally, we support Obama’s commitment to expanding the number of high-skill...
