In the face of an unyielding Congress, President Barack Obama will act on his own to make changes in immigration policy, a White House official said Monday. Obama is expected to refocus immigration enforcement away from the country's interior and onto a Mexican border that has seen a tide of children crossing illegally from Central America, the official said.

This official said that Obama decided to bypass Congress after House speaker John Boehner informed him last week that the House would not vote on an immigration overhaul this year. Obama was expected to address the status of immigration policy later Monday.

The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the plans ahead of Obama's remarks.

Obama's decision effectively declares that a broad based change in immigration policy is dead for the year, and perhaps for the remainder of his administration. Changing immigration laws and providing a path to citizenship for about 11 million immigrants in the country illegally has been one Obama's top priorities as he sought to conclude his presidency with major second-term victory.

'Here's the attitude. Ohhhh. Don't make me do this. Ohhhh. This is too hard,' House Speaker John Boehner said on Thursday, squealing like a child while making fun of his Republican colleagues' position on immigration reform

What's there to vote on? We have laws, enforce them.

Meet America's emerging minority group -- whites

In 28 Years White People Will Become The 'Minority' In America. Let’s Have A Quick Laugh About It.
According to census figures, whites* are projected to become the "minority" race in America by 2042. As a conservative estimate, I'd say there are probably going to be 219,402,392,302 think-pieces written about this upcoming phenomenon. Here's why you should take it all with a grain of salt.
*In the official census count, "Lebanese, Arab, Moroccan" are also counted as white. This proves that race is a totally made-up thing and that somebody at the Census Bureau is hitting the sauce hard during work hours.

What's there to vote on? We have laws, enforce them. If we have laws our government refuses to enforce, it has forfeited its law-enforcement first-responder rights and vigilantes should enforce border security.

It's OK when old Harry won't grant a vote, but if JB won;t then we will need a pencil and a phone.
