Obama Delays Action on Immigration Reform Until After the November Elections

Reuters reports that President Obama reversed his course last week and delayed taking executive action on the immigration reform until after the November congressional elections, fearing that such action could cost his fellow Democrats control of the Senate.  The immigration reform has been a highly polarizing and political issue in the last few years.  The current delay begs the question and concern that this "attempt to deny protection to desperate refugees, and the delay on immigration action, make absolutely no fiscal or moral sense, and are built on questionable political assumptions."  For further discussion, please refer to the Reuters article:  http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/09/06/us-usa-immigration-obama-idUSKBN0H10ER20140906?utm_source=AILA+Mailing&utm_campaign=7f4b627c9d-AILA8_9_8_14&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_3c0e619096-7f4b627c9d-290691581
