KENNEDY ON GONZALES DHS RESIGNATION
WASHINGTON, DC— Yesterday, Senator Edward M. Kennedy released the following statement in response to the announcement that Emilio Gonzales, the director of Citizenship and Immigration Services at the Department of Homeland Security, will resign on April 18th.
“The path to citizenship in our country is in crisis. As we approach the election, over a million people who are qualified and eager to become citizens are stuck in line. Many will be denied the right to cast their first ballots as American citizens this fall. The President must commit himself to fixing this intolerable situation and he should start by choosing a strong and committed leader to take over this office.”
