President Obama will outline a plan on Tonight
to relax U.S.
immigration policy for as many as 5 million people, illegally bypassing
Congress.
The White House said Obama
will deliver a televised speech at 8 p.m. ET tonight laying out the plan followed by a trip to Las Vegas on Friday. Nevada is home to the highest proportion of illegal
immigrants.
Laying the groundwork for his
actions, Obama invited 18 Democratic members of the House and Senate — but no
Republicans — to dinner at the White House on Wednesday. King Obama has made it clear he is not
interested in negotiating with Republicans on this or any other issue. Even Republicans
who supported the Senate bill that would have overhauled immigration laws said
Obama's go-it-alone approach would backfire.
Obama Did not bother to solicit English-Speaking networks for coverage. Instead, only Latino networks Univision and Telemundo have been asked to air the president’s 10-minute announcement.
