Outside the Beltway

A new poll shows that Americans would prefer President Obama to wait to act on immigration until after the new Congress has had a chance to act on the issue.

Republicans don’t really have many options if the President pulls the trigger on immigration reform via executive action.

The White House is now leaking out details of what seems like an inevitable decision by the President. How it plays out politically, though, is the big question.

The GOP’s big wins last week seem to be just guaranteeing that this year’s battle between the Tea Party and the “establishment” will continue.

President Obama’s threat to take action on immigration if Congress doesn’t act by the end of the year ignores political reality,

Despite the conciliatory language after Tuesday, it’s unlikely that much will change in Washington in the next two years.

Dana Milbank (“Obama’s big immigration mistake”) thinks so.

Rebranding alone isn’t going to fix what’s causing the GOP to lose ground among a whole host of demographic groups.

Despite conventional wisdom, there remains little incentive for the GOP to change its position on immigration reform.

Illogic and fear from Mr. Huckabee.

Remember the border crisis? Yea, it’s not much of a crisis these days.

Will the President back track on his promise of further action on immigration if the GOP wins the Senate?

For purely political reasons, the Administration is delaying the announcement of new executive action on immigration.

Cowardice, or politically prudent?

Legality and justice are not always in synch.

Republicans in the House seem determined to make life difficult for whomever wins the GOP nomination in 2016

Once again, Republicans demonstrate why they have problems with Latino voters.

The current immigration debate is yet another great example of how our system works (so to speak).

According to some reports, President Obama may be about to make an end run around Congressional inaction on immigration reform.

The American people don’t want to turn those migrant children from Central America away after all.

Rick Perry is sending 1,000 members of the Texas National Guard to the border to do nothing.

Rick Perry is sending 1,000 members of the Texas National Guard to the border for no apparent reason.

The Texas Senator is threatening to block any bill dealing with the border crisis that doesn’t defund the relief President Obama granted to children of illegal immigrants last year.

Jose Antonio Vargas was brought to the U.S. at the age of 12 and never left. Now, some are suggesting he should be deported as soon as possible.

That ball is in your court, Congress.

Trying to make sense of a very complicated issue.

Discussions about immigration policy are, unfortunately, very much like Groundhog Day.

There is no such thing as a consistent free market, limited government case in favor of restricting immigration, whether legal or illegal.

Rumors are circulating again that the House GOP may make an immigration reform pitch before the midterm elections.

If conservatives actually believed what they said they do, they would be much more open to immigrants, and immigration reform.

A good idea, but do the ends justify the means?

Many Republicans won’t like Jeb Bush’s recent comments about illegal immigration, but he’s right.

Yes, the evidence shows you can trust Obama to enforce immigration laws.

John Boehner explains quite succinctly why nothing big is getting done in Congress.
