LOL, here we go again... Wait didnt they ask kim for a favor to wait after midterm elections...I wonder when the spending bill passes, what will be the next excuse

President Obama has a tough decision to make on the timing of an executive order to freeze deportations of illegal immigrants.

Senate Democrats want him to wait to give them time to pass an omnibus spending bill and other legislative priorities in the lame-duck session that is just now ramping up.



But delaying the action, even for a few weeks, could make Obama look weak and inflame immigration advocates who are already furious with him for holding back until after the midterm elections.
“You have growing anxiety amongst the immigrant community that’s losing faith that the president is going to do as he said he would do,” said Brent Wilkes, national executive director of the League of United Latin American Citizens. “I really think he’ll lose support from the Latino community if he continues to wait.

Its not the president that is weak but the majority of the democratic caucus who seemed like they have forgotten the issues they stand for. This is why I sometimes give Republicans some credit, though they were a minority they get their things done or blocked

Well, I don't have the source readily available but I think Reid, Durbin, Menendez and other heavy influence Democrats have encourged not to wait any longer, let's see how it all plays out.
