Nervous Senate Democrats Force Obama to Delay Amnesty for Illegal Aliens

Well, the news keeps getting worse for the Democrats all around, on the economy, foreign policy, and even ObamaCare.

No surprise that idiotic amnesty is off the table for now.

At NYT, "Obama Delays Immigration Action, Yielding to Democratic Concerns."

And it's all the GOP's fault, naturally:
WASHINGTON — President Obama has delayed action to reshape the nation’s immigration system without congressional approval until after the November elections, bowing to the concerns of Senate Democrats on the ballots, White House officials said on Saturday.

The decision is a striking reversal of Mr. Obama’s vow to take action on immigration soon after summer’s end. The president made that promise on June 30, standing in the Rose Garden, where he angrily denounced Republican obstruction and said he would use the power of his office to protect immigrant families from the threat of deportation.

“Because of the Republicans’ extreme politicization of this issue, the president believes it would be harmful to the policy itself and to the long-term prospects for comprehensive immigration reform to announce administrative action before the elections,” a White House official said. “Because he wants to do this in a way that’s sustainable, the president will take action on immigration before the end of the year.”
More.

No worries. We're good with only 10 percent of the workforce illegal immigrants for now. Your kids may still be able to find entry level jobs.
