President Barack Obama is calling tens of thousands of illegal-immigrant children languishing in temporary U.S. holding pens an urgent humanitarian situation and demands immediate action. As a result President Obama is setting aside $2 million to pay lawyers for the children to protect their immigration rights. Further Obama has asked Congress for $1.4 billion to help house, feed and transport immigrant children and plans to house thousands at military bases in California, Texas, and Oklahoma; despite the concerns of base commanders. President Obama explained "The reason immigrants come illegally is that it is impossible for them to come legally. Fixing the legal immigration system will remove this problem going forward."
