Obama Poised to Act on Immigration

“President Obama firmly rejected advice from top congressional Republicans on Friday that he delay his promised executive action on immigration reform, dismissing calls from critics inside and outside his party to allow Congress to debate the issue next year,” the Washington Post reports.

“The new focus on Obama’s plans to revamp the immigration system by executive fiat came as the president is reportedly reviewing proposals to allow as many as 5 million illegal immigrants to stay in the United States at least temporarily… He is expected to announce his intentions after returning from a visit to China, Burma and Australia, either this month or in early December.”
