This article, released by the Associated Press, discusses the growing drug violence on our Southern border and the central role it's playing in the confirmation process of John Morton to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Morton is proposing increased drug-arrest powers for agents in light of the new situation with drug cartels and the possibility of them spilling over into the United States. Should such change come to pass the possibility of more stringent and unjust random raids could rise.
Morton is not alone in his tough stance towards the immigration process. He has drawn bipartisan support, and has gotten Democratic senator Chuck Schumer to sign on.
