WASHINGTON, June 19 (UPI) -- Congressional Republicans launched a counterattack against President Obama's order halting deportations of people who crossed the border illegally as children.
A bill dubbed the Prohibiting Back-door Amnesty Act of 2012 was introduced Monday by Rep. Ben Quayle, R-Ariz., which would scuttle Obama's executive order to the Department of Homeland Security to temporarily halt deportations of young people who are technically in the United States illegally but are attending school, serving in the armed forces and otherwise keeping their noses clean.
