GOP mulls options to stop Obama from acting alone on immigration, with spending bills now in play   Published November 15, 2014   FoxNews.com                                       Executive action on immigration: Obama vs. Constitution?

House Republicans are engaged in a high-stakes internal debate and political game of dare with President Obama over immigration reform -- with the threat of another government shutdown resurfacing.
The president is expected by as early as next week to announce executive action on U.S. immigration law that would protect roughly 5 million illegal immigrants from deportation, change federal law-enforcement programs and expand business visas for non-citizens.

Obama made clear in the immediate aftermath of the Nov. 4 elections -- in which Republicans won control of the Senate and added to their House majority -- that he would move immediately on immigration, saying he has waited too long for the GOP House to act.

Republican leaders in turned warned Obama that taking executive action, particularly before they control the Senate next year, would be a bad idea.
