* Obama made the remarks during an interview with This Week host George Stephanopolous that was broadcast Sunday
* 'We are not even close to being able to deal with the folks who have been here a long time,' he said
* 'It is a stunning and sad display of a president declining to honor his constitutional obligation,' GOP Sen. Ted Cruz said in response
