Responding to House Speaker John Boehner’s assertion that the president was acting like an emperor with his immigration actions, President Obama declared on Sunday, “Well, my response is pass a bill. Congress has a responsibility to deal with these issues and there are some things that I can’t do on my own.”

The interview, which was taped Friday, was aired Sunday on ABC’s This Week. The president pointed to a bill passed by the U.S. Senate last year that overhauled the immigration system, and pressed the Speaker to take it up. Read more.

  1. The nightmare is the Republicans obstructing everything. The Senate passed an immigration reform bill in June 2013 — 17 months ago. But the Republicans in the House have refused to hold hearings, refused to write their own bill, refused to allow a vote on the Senate bill. There isn’t time left in the session for the first two but Boehner should call Obama’s bluff and bring the Senate bill up for a free vote. It might pass, which would eliminate the justification (and the need) for Obama’s executive actions.

    But I doubt that this will happen. Republicans didn’t say squat with 2 of the last 3 Republican Presidents suspended deportations by executive action. What they really want is to deny Obama any political victories, no matter how much it harms the country.
