Saying he's grown frustrated with waiting for congressional Republicans, an angry President Barack Obama said Monday he will bypass Congress and act on his own to make changes to immigration policy by the end of the summer. Obama spoke Monday from the Rose Garden, where he slammed House Republicans for being too accommodating to the conservative, anti-immigration wing of their party and chided House leadership for not working to pass a "darn bill."
"They're unwilling to stand up to the Tea Party and do what's right for the country. And what's worse — a bunch of them know better," Obama said in the Rose Garden, where he was joined by Vice President Joe Biden.
A White House official said earlier Monday that Obama's new moves came after House Speaker John Boehner told him last week the House will not vote on immigration-related legislation this year. Obama said Boehner informed him Republicans will not vote "at least for the remainder of this year." The president has faced pressure from immigration advocates to stem the tide of deportations in lieu of waiting for congressional legislation.
Obama said he will direct Homeland Security Department Secretary Jeh Johnson and Attorney General Eric Holder to present him with executive actions he can take without congressional approval by the end of the summer. He said he will implement them "without further delay." It's unclear what specific actions the administration might look to take, but Johnson suggested in an interview with PBS last month he would look at changing a controversial deportation policy that has faced criticism from all sides.

Hey you filthy democrats at the New York Times, Washington Post and LA Times... what goes around comes around...
He can ONLY do what they LET him do!!
It’s time for SOME people to wake up!
Line in the sand, boys.
Time for the eGOP to put on its big boy pants and start impeachment if teh obozo does this.
Barry is going scorched earth. Thats what the other Hussein (Sadam) did when he got cornered.
Impeachment. If not now, then when?
Obama thinks this is a perfect DISTRACTION from all his scandals ,but it is turning into another scandal
Who are you talking about? Who’s the ‘they’?
What about our American Homeless Children?

WHY CAN’T OUR PRESIDENT FOCUS ON JOBS INSTEAD OF IMMIGRANTS? He had implemented the Cloward-Piven Strategy to destroy America and those illegal children are a means to an end...he does not care about anyone but himself!
I wonder how he will ‘feel’ about stepping down in 2016.
People are worried about the crisis on the border and those 50,000 kids who somehow just showed up crystallizes the concern. I don’t think this issue is going to play out with the voters the way the regime thinks.
Take him to court. It’s against the Constitution!
If only some organization besides the executive branch controlled government funding, and if only Republicans controlled that organization, we could stop Obama in his tracks even without impeachment.
Oh, wait...
We are past that too, ....
The EXEMPT Prince: "Do not worry. Just make us EXEMPT again,
and remind OUR families and OUR staff that they
will be the last to be beheaded, my most beloved King."
