Immigrants feel frustrated, betrayed by Obama delay

From The Arizona Republic:
In a statement, White House officials said Obama wanted to avoid diminishing the
long-term prospects for comprehensive immigration-reform legislation by waiting until
the end of the year to act on his own. But Louis DeSipio, a political-science professor
at the University of California, Irvine, said he believes there is now almost no chance
Congress will pass immigration legislation while Obama is in office. By the end of
the year, he will be "weaker in legislative terms and less likely to get something
out of Congress," DeSipio said.
