To some, Obama’s immigration delay proves “it’s never convenient to help out Latinos”: Don’t Hold Your Breath for Executive Action on Immigration After November Elections
Confirming what had been hinted at on Friday, President Barack Obama is postponing executive action on immigration until after the elections in November.

The latest delay is disappointing and, not surprisingly, has generated considerable criticism. Click here for a story look at the criticism from activists. As has been the case for the last six years, there will always be another election that can be pointed to to justify putting off immigration reform. As one might say, excuses, escuses.
Ed O’Keefe in the Washington Post analyzes the politics surrounding President Obama’s decision to delay executive action on immigration in a story with a telling title (“To some, Obama’s immigration delay proves ‘it’s never convenient to help out Latinos.’”)
