The administration has been hinting at, if not actually promising, executive action on amnesty by the end of summer. (Action from Obama? :D) Libs had convinced themselves that this would be an executive order granting work permits to 5 million illegals. (Just what the country needs, given our current labor shortage.)
It now appears that Obama will delay any action until at least after the November elections, if not until the new year.
His excuse for not making a decision? We need to have a national debate (http://dailycaller.com/2014/08/29/white-house-national-debate-needed-before-obama-amnesty/)on immigration.
President Barack Obama wants a national debate on immigration, says his spokesman Josh Earnest.
The new call for a debate suggests that the president is abandoning — or at least delaying — his high-risk promise to Latino advocates that he would provide work permits to millions of illegal immigrants in the weeks before the election.
The president “wants to have a debate about the status of our immigration system, and what the consequences are for allowing a broken immigration to persist [and] what Republicans have done, or in this case, have not done, to try to confront that problem,” Earnest said.
Supporters of increased immigration are increasingly worried Obama will ditch them at the altar. “Keep your promise, take action, be strong and have faith that leaning into this issue is the right thing to do – policy-wise and politically,” said a statement from Frank Sharry, one of the leading progressive advocates for increased immigration, and a founder of America’s Voice.
More proof that Obama is the smartest president ever. Why did no one else ever think about discussing immigration? All these years of immigration problems, and no one ever thought about discussing the issue. What a genius. I nominate him for another Nobel for this huge leap forward.
