Report: Admin Mulls Limiting Deportations for Immigrants Without Criminal Records 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Obama administration is reportedly considering limiting the
deportations of undocumented immigrants who do not have criminal
records. Recent figures show two-thirds of those deported under
President Obama had committed minor infractions, such as traffic
violations, or had no criminal record at all. The Associated Press
reports the change is being considered as part of a Department of
Homeland Security review launched amidst rising criticism of Obama's
record two million deportations.
