Com this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im don dahler. The Trump Administration is toughening immigration laws aimed at deporting Illegal Immigrants. New guidelines were unveiled tuesday by the department of Homeland Security. The white house says the new rules are primarily for Illegal Immigrants who commit crimes or pose a threat to the country. Heres jeff pegues. Reporter the new guidelines come as u. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement units have carried out hundreds of deportation operations across the country. Authorities will now be able to expedite deportation of any undocumented immigrant in the country for less than two years. Immediately return many immigrants captured at the border, and hire 15,000 new Border Patrol and immigration officers. The guidelines do leave in place an obamaera program that granted work permits to those brought to the country illegally as children. The department of Homeland Security is also tasked with building President Trumps southern border wall, estimated to cost 21 billion. But a report by dhs internal watchdog questions whether the department is up to the task. Homeland security has made progress in the last three years, yet faces longstanding, persistent challenges. Reporter testifying before congress, Inspector General john roth said his review found a 2011 project to strengthen 53 miles of the arizona border was canceled, but not before dhs spent about 1 billion. There were also numerous bottlenecks in the hiring process, taking over nine months to hire just one Border Patrol agent. Tom schatz is president of citizens against government waste.

Theres fear of detention, theres fear of the ban being extended to other countries. Reporter 1 in 4 doctors in the u. S. Are foreign born, including an estimated 15,000 from the seven countries already included in President Trumps travel ban. How significant is a shortage in a place like this . Reporter in this downy, the shortage of physicians is about half of whats needed. International medical graduates are a very important part of the American Health care system. In many places, the International Medical graduate physician is the medical system. So people should be very concerned about this. Reporter hospitals have until 9 00 p. M. Wednesday to decide which recent medical School Graduates they would like to bring on as residents. In a normal year, the best candidates would rise to the top. But this year, hospitals have to weigh whether to take a risk on a candidate whose visa might be denied.

Reporter a syrian born cardiology fellow at chicagos cook county hospital arrived as a resident in 2011. If someone in the white house happens to be watching this, what would you want them to know about the doctors from these seven countries .
