Major garrett is in las vegas where the president will begin selling his plan. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. President which will sign the memo, setting all of his policies in motion here at del sol high school. From this spot nearly two years ago, the president called on congress to pass comprehensive Immigration Reform. Knowing republicans are furious with his unilateral actions, the president will say there is one way they can be all wiped away, for congress to pass a bill the president can sign. Anticipating republican charges of blanket amnesty, president obama said the Current System without his changes amounts to amnesty by inaction. Millions of people who live here without paying their taxes or playing by the rules, while politicians use the issue to scare people and whip up votes at election time. Reporter it was an odd complaint. The president broke a promise to take these actions in september. All to shield nervous Senate Democrats fearful of the political backlash. The president s actions do the following. Lift the threat of deportation from an estimated 5 million undocumented adults and children who have lived in america at least five years. Adults with children born in the u. S. Or with permanent legal status can also apply for a threeyear work permit. Most of these immigrants have been here a long time. They work hard.

When he came into office, we believed his campaign promises. We believed he was going to make immigration a priority. Reporter all these changes last only as long as president obama remains in office. The next president can extend them or eliminate them. Signups start in the spring. Theres a lengthy verification process, meaning some undocumented immigrants may not receive this Legal Protection until 2016, and that could well mean their legal status in this country will literally be on the president ial ballot.

The senate did pass Bipartisan Legislation about a year and a half ago. But it has gotten held up in the house, where many republicans believe you have to tackle Border Security first before you can address the status of those who came here illegally. I asked the speaker about that stalled legislation a short time ago. The president says you could have prevented this, mr. Speaker, by showing that the house was going to take action on comprehensive Immigration Reform. Did you miss the boat . The president made 38 unilateral changes to the Affordable Care act. The president repeatedly suggested that he was going to unilaterally change immigration law. And he created an environment where the members would not trust him. And trying to find a way to Work Together was virtually impossible. I warned the president over and over that his actions were making it impossible for me to do what he wanted me to do.
