President Obama says he is going to use executive action to deal with what he says is a broken immigration system.

“While I will continue to push Republicans to drop excuses and act,” Obama said, “Americans cannot wait forever for them to act.”

Obama made the announcement at the White House Rose Garden on Monday. He said he will begin “a new effort to fix the immigration system on my own, without Congress.”

Obama announced one piece of concrete action — that he would move some immigration enforcement assets from the interior of the country to the border. He said his cabinet will meet and by the end of the summer, they will bring him recommendations for executive actions.

Obama added that he made the decision a year after the Senate passed an immigration reform bill and after Speaker John Boehner, a Republican from Ohio, told him that he would not push for a vote on an immigration overhaul bill this year.
