President Obama will Take Executive Orders on Immigration Reform

++President Obama was informed last week by Speaker John Boehner that there would be no immigration reform vote this year in the House. As a consequence, President Obama will take executive measures this month.

++While limited in scope, he can focus immigration efforts at the border and minimize deportation from the interior of the country.

++His recent request for $2 billion for the border crisis has nothing to do with these executive orders.Instead, the idea is to focus on deporting people who pose a threat to national security or who have a criminal record. Also,those at the border will be candidates for deportation. 

++President Obama has asked Jeh Johnson, the Secretary for Homeland Security, and Eric Holder for recommendations on immigration priorities.
