Repubs will not touch immigration issue with ten-foot pole

They prefer to stand back and blame everything on the President. They would like a photo op of the President with refugee children on the border, so they will have ammo for their campaign ads.

The President should be pointing out that the "do nothing" Congress is sitting on its hands and doing nothing, while threatening to sue him if he does anything on his own. He should be putting more heat on the Congress, in my opinion.

Already, members of Congress like Nancy Pelosi and the Sec. of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson have already done so. And Obama has publicly stated that children should stop trying to cross the border illegally. He knows that right wingers are concern trolling.
