President Obama said on Wednesday that he would act on his own by the end of the year to improve the immigration system, presumably by giving many perhaps millions of the countrys unauthorized immigrants temporary protection from deportation and permission to work. He has said this before, only to back off in deference to election-year politics.
Now the election is over, and the only thing to say to the president is: Do it. Take executive action. Make it big.
He must not give in to calls to wait. Six fruitless years is time enough for anyone to realize that waiting for Congress to help fix immigration is delusional. Senator Mitch McConnell and Representative John Boehner have warned Mr. Obama that executive action would destroy any chance of future legislation.
But Republicans have had many, many opportunities to move on immigration, and never have. They killed bipartisan reform in 2006 and 2007, and again this year. The party, whose hard-core members tried to stoke national panic at the border this summer, shrieking about migrant children, Ebola and the Islamic State, is not ready to be reasoned with.

So to the NYT, “fix” immigration means open the border.
Treasonous pigs
NY Times calls for dictatorship
They are illegals.
Round them up and kick them out.
Fine any company that is caught hiring them.
Fine any apartment owner renting to them.
Predictably, the NY Slimes supports Obama acting as a dictator.
Eh, I believe ‘decision time for immigration’ has come and gone. Last Tuesday, to be exact, Pinchy.
Be careful about using the New York Times in your kitty litter box. It’s liable to poison your cats.
Oh...and you can tell Paul Ryan.
“But Republicans have had many, many opportunities to move on immigration, and never have.”
The Orwellization of the language continues...
“move on immigration” = “accept amnesty”
I wish our wussy republican “leaders” would be awake enough to pick up on how the donkeys abuse them with their language.
The New York Slimes demands a dictator.
I'd be happy if they'd stop using dial telephones and realize there's this wacky new product out there called "social media."
The American public has made up it’s mind. And so far the idiots in Washington, D. C. have proven to be as tone deaf as they can possibly be.
Hey you assholes, you work for us. We are here legally, and demand you work on our behalf, not the behalf of the citizens of other nations.
What’s wrong with existing immigration laws?
Seems to me the simplest, easiest, cheapest, quickest way to enforce immigration is to abide by current law.
Period.
Wow! What an interesting choice of words.
The Old Grey Hag openly declares war on Americans.
