President Barack Obama won’t act to reduce deportations on his own until the end of the summer — giving Speaker John A. Boehner one more chance to vote on an immigration overhaul.
Two administration officials confirmed that the president has directed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to hold off on releasing the results of his review of immigration policy in the meantime.
The hope in the White House is that once Republican primary season largely wraps up June 10, Boehner, R-Ohio, will have the political space to get something done.

well I guess misdirecting attention at Boehner is as good an excuse as any for not releasing the results
In my opinion, Obama and his regime have painted themselves into a corner and are trying to force the GOP to give them a way out.
For months/years they trumpeted that the borders were more secure than ever and that they have deported MORE illegals than Bush did. ...That mantra is not looked upon favorably by the liberals/Hispanics who want amnesty for illegals, so the Dems really want the GOP to pass some reforms for illegals so that Obama’s regime can claim credit.
Recent news, however, says they have been counting the people turned away at official border entry points as “deportations”, even though those people were never allowed to enter the US.
The regime is thus caught between admitting they have been lying all along about border security and deportations OR depending upon the GOP to bail them out by passing reform legislation. They’re pressing for the latter.
The House GOP better remain firm and not even address the issues involved. Let the Dems fend for themselves.
since Boehner is one of obammy’s butt buddies he’ll go along with anything the magic negro tell him to.
