"Obama considers plan to delay deportation for millions"
"
President Obama is considering an executive order that would prevent as many as 5 million people from being deported, administration officials said Thursday."
But the officials — speaking on condition of anonymity, citing internal deliberations — said the details of the immigration plan are still being developed and called reports of specific action "pre-decisional."
"We will not be shutting the government down," McConnell told reporters...
"We'd like for the president to recognize the reality that he has to govern with the Congress that he has, not the one that he wishes he had, and work with us to try to find a way to improve our immigration system," McConnell said.
Pablo Alvarado of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, said he was unimpressed with the latest "trial balloon."
"They're leaving opportunity on the table," said Clarissa MartÃnez De Castro of the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic advocacy group that has advised the White House on its executive action plan throughout the year.
"I know there's concern that this executive action was going to be attacked," she said. "But even if they do 100 people, they're going to be attacked the same. So why not go bolder?"

See that media spin: "Prevent form being deported."
I keep thinking "another red line".
If Little Zero really wanted to do this, he'd have done it by now. I can't see any real reason for the wait, except a possible attempt to get McConnell and Boehner to do something stupid.
Barry's a punk, he's only tough when he's got a gang behind him, or better yet in front of him. The gang is gone now.
One other point - if he thinks everybody let him down by staying home, wouldn't that include the Hispanics, too? Why reward them?
I keep going back to what (Godwin Alert) wanted to do after he figured the generals, the army, and the German people had all let him down and giving somebody a helping hand wasn't it.
Yes, I could be wrong.
Punk, indeed. But The Gang isn't gone until January.
My gut tells me Obama is not bluffing.
He is going to do executive orders.
This is not a bluff. He does his "red line" horseshit when he's bluffing. One of the myths during 2008 was that he is a great poker player. You KNOW that's a fucking lie.
I hope the Republicans get it, especially after this wave election, that they weren't given majorities to shrug at Hussein's lawlessness. There are things Congress can do, far short of shutting down the government, to challenge substituting an executive order for existing law,
He is going to do it water torture style.
Amnesty by a thousand cousins, if you will. Rush mentioned one yesterday. The parents of the "unaccompanied minors"? they are coming.
Where we expect a MOAB bunker buster, Obama is going to do a blitz of mini amnesties.
"National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic advocacy group that has advised the White House on its executive action plan throughout the year."
I hope the KKK and the Black Panthers had a seat at the table too.
Lem may be right about the Death of A Thousand EOs, but, given Little Zero's penchant for screwing things up (his things, I mean), who's to say that all the people coming in from, say, Venezuela or Brazil, are going to vote for the same sort of people they're fleeing?
(not my thought, but I was struck by it when I read it; I'll try to find a link)
Bags... I was thinking along the same tear track, but from the other eye if you will.
How come Hispanics are the only ones singled out for goodies in Amnesty Sweepstakes?
Why cant Obama sing an executive order prohibiting the police from ever shooting a black person?
Common Obama! Help a brother get to live!
Radical advisory group trumps the wishes and concerns of 70-80% of the entire population and the US, and the US Constitution. Isn't that neat?
Odd seeing "punk" used twice here. I used the word for the fist time in another thread on Hot Air. Seeing it here made me think, oh Jeeze now they're going to think I am copying. But that was over there, not here. This here is watchya call coincidence. Or perhaps Insty would call it preference cascade.
Bringing people over into the country on a hot air balloon is the kind of thing a punk would do.
I'm just saying.
He is going to do it on Black Friday when everyone is away for the Thanksgiving Holiday.
Sorry, guys, here's where I got that point about Hispanics.
YMMV
UnAmerican. Traitor.
By the way "Black Friday" does not mean you get a free pass to loot.
Except of course in Ferguson, Mo.
Obama promises over and over:
"If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. Period."
He added the period.
His words. His promises.
Now millions of Americans are getting cancelations notices because their policy doesn't
comply with the ACA.
The balloon is crashed and deflated.
