WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama said on Thursday
that while he still hopes for Congress to act on immigration after
midterm elections in November, he will continue to consider steps he can
take on his own to improve the system.
“We’ve had a lot of stakeholder discussions,” he told reporters in
response to questions at a White House news conference. “That set of
proposals is being worked up.”
“Have no doubt,” he added. “In the absence of congressional action,
I’m going to do what I can to make sure the system works better.”
