Booker unveils immigration plan relying on executive orders

Cory Booker has rolled out a sweeping immigration agenda composed of changes he could make without relying on Congress to act, including a shift away from criminal prosecution of border crossings and a new mandate for migrant detention facilities to meet minimum standards. Booker's immigration plan, unveiled Tuesday, is one of the most detailed among Democratic White House hopefuls. His proposal sets a different tone from former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke's immigration agenda by focusing entirely on executive orders that a future president could pursue without relying on a legislative deal that has proved elusive in recent years.
