Democratics want Obama to shoot for the moon... “When the president decides to do his executive order, he should go big — as big as he can,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
They say Obama will pay the price with Republicans (who won outstanding majorities nationwide at midterms), so he might as well enjoy the reward by winning the affection of millions of immigrants and support from a key bloc of Latino voters ....
Obama's E/O could come this week---would allow more than four million of the estimated 11 million undocumented to work and live in the US legally. Obama is said to be considering action that would stop deportations of parents of US citizens, but no relief to parents of Dreamers, the undocumented children who grew up in the US, according to Bloomberg News.
