Even as President Obama grapples with the crisis of immigrant children arriving at the Southwest border, White House officials are laying the groundwork for a large-scale expansion of immigrant rights that would come by executive action within weeks.

Officials signaled strongly Friday that Obama's move would shield from deportation large numbers of immigrants living in the country illegally, as advocacy groups have demanded.

Roughly 5 million of the estimated 11 million people who entered the country without legal authorization or overstayed their visas could be protected under a leading option the White House is considering, according to officials who discussed the proposals on condition of anonymity.

When did that happen ???

I know there are illegal aliens coming through our southern border and causing an invasion crisis

but why would immigrants arriving here be said to cause a ‘crisis’ ???

and why would immigrants need more rights than they already have ???

When the decision is announced, it will "increase the angry reactions from Republicans," Pfeiffer said.

Given that the regime is so out of touch I wonder if they have even considered that this just might increase the angry reactions from non-Republicans too?
