WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama is set on Thursday to outline a controversial plan to relax U.S. immigration policy and grant relief from deportation to as many as 5 million undocumented immigrants in a go-it-alone move that will deepen a partisan divide with Republicans.
Sources close to the administration said the rollout would include a televised speech by Obama on Thursday night laying out the plan followed by a trip to Las Vegas on Friday to build support. Nevada is home to the highest proportion of undocumented immigrants in the country.
The White House declined to comment on the specific timing of the announcement but officials have made clear Obama was planning to take executive action soon. Some conservative Republicans have threatened to try to thwart the immigration move by imposing funding restrictions in a must-pass spending bill, which could conceivably raise the possibility of a government shutdown.
Frustrated by years of congressional inaction on what most in Washington agree is a broken immigration system, Obama is planning to issue a reprieve from deportation that will cover some parents of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents.
That initiative would expand on a 2012 executive order by the president that gave relief from deportation and work permits to undocumented children brought to the United States by their parents.
There is also expected to be a border security element and Obama will act to help companies hire and retain high-skilled workers from abroad, the sources said.
"We've identified a number of ways that we will (fix the system) which the president will speak to in the coming days," Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said at a National Press Club event on Wednesday.
Not to go off topic - but Big Red 1, huh? They still at Fort Riley? I was sent there way back when on an investigation. Kind of in the middle of nowhere, huh....
Yes, still good old Ft Riley.
The House will have to defund as much of the plan as it can...cards, what ever is involved with giving them legal status.
Meanwhile, they will have to litigate quickly.
Brain freeze here... what is it called when the opponent goes before a judge to stop the action temporarily?
waiting on JanThe House has been sitting on the bill since the summer of 2013 and refuses to act
In the absence of a functioning Congress, Obama is correct in using Executive Orders. If Boehner doesn't like it, he is welcome to pass his own bill. Why doesn't he?
