Matt Hayes: Immigration Moves Signal Coming Debate
"Some key players in White House immigration policy have seen career setbacks in recent weeks. Undersecretary Asa Hutchinson resigned altogether from the Department of Homeland Security shortly after the president did not select him to replace nominee Bernard Kerik. Rep. Chris Cannon, who in only mid-January was telling the press that he would do everything in his power to see his guest worker program passed, had resigned from the House Immigration Subcommittee by the end of the month," says Fox News commentator Matt Hayes. "There can be speculation as to why Rep. Cannon and Undersecretary Hutchinson have resigned their positions. What’s clear is that two of the lightning rods for criticism by ordinary Americans are now offstage, which gives the impression that the guest worker program wanted by the White House is something moderate and palatable to Americans. But it’s just the 'any willing worker for any willing employer' bill that the White House has been pushing for years."
