WASHINGTON (AP) -- Abandoning his pledge to act by the end of summer, President Barack Obama has decided to delay any executive action on immigration until after the November congressional elections, White House officials said.

The move instantly infuriated immigration advocates while offering relief to some vulnerable Democrats in tough Senate re-election contests.

Two White House officials said Obama concluded that circumventing Congress through executive actions on immigration during the campaign would politicize the issue and hurt future efforts to pass a broad overhaul.

So Republicans should warn voters that they will be subjected to further invasion of illegals after the election. Obama just said so.

We conservatives have been SCREAMING at the RINO’s for YEARS, telling them fighting illegal immergration was a WINNING issue!

But they refused to listen! and instead actively FOUGHT AGAINST US!

Only NOW is everyone starting to see (even the Democrats) that the vast majority of Americans want this invaders OUT!

...

It doesn’t matter what we want. The Ruling Class of both parties want them in, and they want millions more like them. The reason being they will vote for big corrupt government.

I agree to the point of a vast majority of citizens want them out.

The conservative candidates need to push this to the hilt because it shows the duplicity of Obola and the dems. Don’t give any of them, rinos included, any space on this issue. This is the end of the US when it happens, albeit we are already on life support as a nation now.

Of course he is. But just wait until the last two years of this guy. Amnesties, executive orders, giveaways, takeaways, pardons....he will dare people to stop him.

Of course he is delaying it. That way, after the elections, they can do bloody well whatever they want.

the announcement...surprises me!

the fact that the “white house” has been so forthcoming as to dare mention the timing of any action the Great Leader might “pen” is rather startling...

Oh no. No...

Democrats must clamor for his immediate action on immigration amnesty. They must beseach Him to boldly use His mighty Pen and Phone.

This is a great piece of His Fundamental Change.

He must not weaken now, so close to a such a watermark moment of His Legacy.

Beware the lame duck session of congress when John Boehner, Harry Reid, and Barack Obama are likely to act.

But wait! The Kenyan Marxist keeps saying that issuing executive orders is the right thing to do for the country. So if that’s the case, then why the need to delay doing this until after the elections if its so “moral” and “just”??

I swear, this SOB currently occupying the Oval Office is pure, unadulterated evil and possesses absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

How do we know Obama isn’t just SAYING he will delay his ‘executive amnesty’, but still do it under the radar?
