Obama Hints He'll Delay Action in Immigration Taegan Goddard's Political Wire President Obama "is suggesting that he will defer his self-imposed deadline for announcing an expected change in immigration policy, as the White House wrestles with the political and legal dilemmas involved in making significant alterations without congressional approval," the Los Angeles Times reports. This would "bow to the concerns of Democratic lawmakers running in Republican-leaning states who have expressed opposition to Obama's plans to act unilaterally on the hot-button issue." Greg Sargent: "The case goes like this: In the core red states that will decide Senate control, there are very few genuinely persuadable voters left. Base turnout will be decisive. Any action by Obama risks further inflaming the GOP base at a time when the fading of Obamacare as a major issue, and the lack of 2010's seismic levels of rage, could mean core GOP voters aren't quite as engaged as during the 2010 shellacking."
