Well,
he’s doing it. President Obama is going
it alone. Though he says, he would
happily sign a comprehensive immigration reform bill into law if Republicans
would finally, and at long last, participate in the political process. But he’s lost his patience, and today is
scheduled to sign executive action on immigration.
And
while amnesty supporters may be happy, the public is evenly divided about
whether the president should move forward unilaterally on such a controversial
issue. As the president signs an executive
order on immigration, it meets more resistance than support. A USA
TODAY poll found close to half of those surveyed (46%) said he should wait
for the new Republican-controlled Congress to act, and another 1-in-10 are
unconvinced either way. Just 42% of
Americans say he should take action now. This executive order is forecast to prevent as
many as 5-million people from being deported.
Republicans
have articulated that signing such an execution action would be a “grievous
mistake.” Apparently, it seems, many
Americans would tend to agree.
