“I promise you, the American people don’t want me just standing around twiddling my thumbs,” he said.
On Thursday, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Obama would take executive action to address the immigration crisis after the ”legislative branch utterly fails to perform its basic responsibility.”
But there is another, less fashionable way that the White House could achieve the immigration reform it desires, and enact the changes for which, we are told, the American people are clamoring: the election of a Democratic Congress in November. It really is that easy. And it’s by far the least controversial means to enact the immigration policies the president and his party have been championing.
Why are you laughing? Because no one seriously expects that to happen? Or because there’s no way that’s going to happen?
Maybe there is a reason for that. Most Americans still do not view immigration reform as a top priority. According to a recent CBS News poll, the American people are almost twice as likely to view jobs and the economy—as opposed to immigration—as the most important problem facing the country.
