W.H.: Obama ‘Looking Forward’ To Taking Executive Action on Immigration (Washington Free Beacon)

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told Fusion’s Jorge Ramos that President Obama was “looking forward” to implementing immigration reform through executive action during an interview Tuesday.

Ramos asked Earnest how Americans could be assured that there would be “no more delays” in taking executive action on immigration.

“The president made a promise in the Fall that if congress didn’t act that the president himself would take executive action to try to solve the problems of our broken immigration system before the end of the year,” Earnest said. “The president is disappointed that this legislative solution won’t be achieved, but the president is looking forward to taking executive action on his own to solve as many of these problems as he can.”
