Republicans “vowed a swift and forceful response to the executive action on immigration that President Obama is to announce in a prime-time address, accusing the president of exceeding the power of his office and promising a legislative fight when they take full control of Congress next year,” the New York Times reports.
“Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who will become majority leader in January, said in a speech on the Senate floor Thursday morning that Mr. Obama would regret choosing to ignore the wishes of the American people… Mr. McConnell did not say what options Republicans were considering, but the party is sharply divided about how far to go in trying to thwart Mr. Obama’s action.”
Washington Post: “For the GOP, the debate over immigration is not only a fight with the White House, but a test of whether it can contain unhelpful passions in the party.”
