Democrats Differ on Timing of Immigration Action

“Senate Democrats appear united in their view that President Barack Obama should take executive action on immigration, but they are sending mixed messages on the timing,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Administration officials have said an announcement will come by the end of the year, possibly as early as this week.”

“Last week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters that he’d like the president to wait until after Congress completes work on spending legislation needed to keep the government operating after Dec. 11. The concern is that GOP opposition to the immigration move will make it harder to pass a spending bill.”
