WASHINGTON D.C. (Worthy News)– President Barack Obama announced he’s ready to “act on his own” on immigration reform as he revealed plans for using his executive power to make sweeping changes to the nation’s immigration system.

“I’m beginning a new effort to fix as much of our immigration system as I can on my own, without Congress,” the President said from the Rose Garden.

The President said, “as we speak there are enough Republicans and Democrats to pass an immigration bill today, I would sign it into law today.”

However, he blamed Congress for the problems at the border as he accused Republicans for obstructing immigration reform over the past year.
