BORDER BATTLE

Obama Adviser Dan Pfeiffer predicts impeachment proceedings will begin after the president takes unilateral action

Obama to delay executive action on immigration until after election (The Washington Post)

Bowing to political concerns, President Obama will not announce any plans to take executive action to change immigration policy until after the November elections, despite promising in June he would act before the end of summer.

White House officials began informing lawmakers and advocacy groups of the decision, with calls going out late Friday and continuing into Saturday morning, according to several people familiar with the decision.

The decision comes just a few days after Obama hinted that he might delay a decision as he continues to call on Congress to take steps to overhaul the nation's immigration laws.
