Announces plan to do ‘as much as I can, on my own, without Congress’

President Barack Obama announced from the White House Rose Garden Monday he will no longer wait for congressional action but intends to attack America’s immigration woes via executive order.

“America cannot wait forever,” Obama said, explaining he’s launching a new effort to “fix as much of our immigration system as I can, on my own, without Congress.”

A senior White House official further explained Obama’s first step will be to direct the Homeland Security and Justice departments to “move available and appropriate enforcement resources from our interior to the border.”

The move will almost certainly slow down deportation efforts, but is purportedly designed to increase the deterrence factor for illegal immigrants crossing the U.S. border with Mexico.

The president is also planning to establish a team to “identify additional actions and send recommendations to him by the end of the summer on steps he can take without Congress, but within his existing authorities, to fix as much of our broken immigration system as we can.”

Obama specifically blamed Republicans in the House of Representatives for the flood of illegal immigrants making headlines nationwide.

“I take executive action only when we have a serious problem, a serious issue, and Congress chooses to do nothing,” Obama said. “And in this situation, the failure of House Republicans to pass a darn bill is bad for our security, it’s bad for our economy and it’s bad for our future.”
