President Obama has pledged to “fix as much of our immigration system as I can on my own, without Congress.” In announcing that he plans by the end of the summer to take unilateral action to deal with the issue of illegal immigration, Obama said, ““I take executive action only when we have a serious problem, a serious issue, and Congress chooses to do nothing. And in this situation, the failure of House Republicans to pass a darn bill is bad for our security, it’s bad for our economy, and it’s bad for our future.”
