The illegals get to stay. Obama gets to take credit. And it'll be tough for Repubs to hate on this because most of them are on record saying they support it.
Or, suddenly Boehnner, in an effort to get the "me too!" in, will jump thru hoops and give obama everything he wants, so that repubs can claim some of the 'credit' for this bill.
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says he's done waiting for House Republicans to act on immigration. He says he now plans to act on his own.
Obama announced his intention Monday to take executive action.
Obama says there are enough Republicans and Democrats in the House to pass an immigration bill today, and says he would sign it.
But Obama says he's waited for more than a year to give House Speaker John Boehner (BAY'-nur) space to act. He says Boehner informed him last week that the House won't vote on immigration this year.
Obama says the thousands of unaccompanied children showing up on the border underscore the need to drop the politics and act on immigration.
