The President: Showing Leadership Where House GOP Has Failed to Act

Tonight, the President will outline his plan to help fix our broken immigration system and secure our future – showing strong leadership where Republicans have failed to act.  But all House Republicans know is distraction, obstruction and dysfunction, so their reaction to the President's immigration actions shouldn't come as a surprise:

They're threatening to shut down the government – again.

They're talking about impeaching the President – and sending him to jail.

Their own leaders aren't taking any action off the table – no matter how extreme.

The radical, anti-immigrant voices in their Conference are once again the loudest – and this time, they're calling undocumented immigrants "illiterate."

Even worse, House Republicans now have the nerve to suggest that, if only the President would hold off on taking action, they'll finally come to the table and work with Democrats to fix our immigration system.  It's as if they expect the American people to totally forget their obstructive record.

On immigration reform, don't listen to House Republicans.  Because they're certainly not listening to the American people.  It's time to act, and we welcome President Obama's meaningful, courageous and imminent action.
