Whether hell face charges. And snow emergency, feet of snow already weighing on roofs in buffalo. Now a new winter threat to pile on in the days ahead. Lets talk, live in the cnn newsroom. Good morning, im carol costello. Thank you so much for joining me. You can come out of the shadows, that was president obamas message to as many as 5 million undocumented immigrants as he unveiled the most sweeping executive order ever to limit deportations. The changes apply largely to the parents of legal residents who have been in the United States for at least five years. They will be allowed to stay for three more years as long as they pass background checks and pay taxes. But there is no path to citizenship. Tightening the border and deporting criminals also top priorities. President obama had this to say to opponents who ause him of breaking the law. To those members of congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better or question the wisdom of me acting where congress has failed, i have one answer pass a bill. The president is headed to las vegas later today to peddle his plan. Suzanne malveaux caught up with two families who could be affected by the new rules. Reporter to the nearly 40 million tourists who visit the strip each year, this is the vegas they see, but behind the bright lights, a community of undocumented workers is quietly toiling away. Doing menial jobs to support their families, under the constant fear that they will be torn apart. She says she thinks about it every day, its one of those things that people who are undocumented think about it every day and its a fear you have to live with. Reporter lorelorena, who on wants to use her first name lives with that fear because she is here illegally, a mother of three, she and her husband clean homes and nightclub bathrooms to support their children. How was school today . Pretty good. Reporter the youngest, luis, was born in the United States but lorena could be deported to mexico at any time. Her 18yearold is protected under president obamas 2012 order to defer some deportations which gives some children brought to the u. S. By their parents a twoyear reprieve from removal. She wants obamas executive order to do the same for her parents. I fear that at any point in time immigration can come, knock on my door and take my parents with them and leave us here, destroying my family and leaving it completely fallen apart. Reporter lorena wants obama to provide a path to citizenship. Shes an a student, an actress and beauty queen who also aspires to join the national guard. I want to be able to help our country and the country that i was raised in, but i mean, something that i couldnt do. Reporter 25yearold jose mesias doesnt face the obstacles. He was born in the u. S. After his parents seeking fertility across the border entered illegally. People dont have the papers, by the time they got involved citizen. Reporter joses father has spent nearly 30 years in the u. S. Working at mcdonalds n fruit fields, at a shoe factory and in construction. His wife at a casino before recently dying of a stroke. She was very active. Reporter having just lost his mom, jose is worried he could lose his father, too, if his dad is deported. Jose believes his father has earned his right to stay and has made Immigration Reform his passion. Z if you dont apply, somebod else wont do it for you. It was always something she told us. Reporter a sentiment shared by lorena as well. I believe im worth just as much as somebody who is born here. Good morning, carol, so the families we got a chance to really get to know here, this is good news for them. The executive order from the president , but theres also a sense, carol, of anxiety among the families living here because they say this is an executive order, a temporary action. This could be undone by the next president , not likely but it could be and so there really is a sense that its not permanent and there is this real palpable fear that we get from not only the students, from the kids, but also the parents that they just dont know. They go by year by year. They dont know when the next time is that theyre not going to see each other. Suzanne malveaux reporting live from las vegas this morning, thanks so much. Reminder, not a remind irber, t is the first time im telling you. Coming up john boehner will respond to president obamas plan to overhaul the immigration system. The poed wrdium is set up at th capitol with the flags behind. We expect him to speak at 9 15 eastern time in ten minutes, well take mr. Boehners remarks live for you.

We expect that officer wilson will make a decision on whether to announce his resignation. He has told his friends, his associates that one reason why he was going to do this was to spare his fellow officers from some of the pressures that theyve been facing, because you know, carol, there have been protests almost daily here, there have been a few arrests overnight even and so everybodys bracing for what the grand jury decide this is weekend perhaps. Evan perez reporting live from clayton, missouri, this morning. Riot police clash with protesters in the heart of mexico city, some demonstrators threw molotov cocktails and burned tires, outraged over the case of 43 College Students who vanished two months ago, protesters demanding justice. Mexicos attorney general say the students were captured by local Police Ordered by a local mayor and then handed over a drug gang to be executed. Buffalo, up to seven feet of snow paralyzed the city. Crews have been working around the clock to clear the streets but it could take another four days to complete the job. The nfl has decided to move sundays bill home game to detroit. The bills will play the new york jets at ford field monday night. Here is the danger for the folks in buffalo. Rain is now in the forecast, and as you know, that will create new problems, because the snow is going to melt, the rain will add to the moisture and flooding is a real possibility. Cnns brian todd is in buffalo. What are you standing on . Reporter carol, were standing on a huge pile of snow here at this dumping ground. This is the old rail yard just east of buffalo. This is an idea of, that you can get of how difficult it is to dispose of this snow. The mayor says 29,000 tons have been removed from South Buffalo since the snow began and this is where theyre putting some of it, its been a huge challenge in buffalo to get rid of the snow, residents dont have any place to put it, plows dont have any place to put it in the side streets so this is where theyre bringing a lot of it, a steady stream of dump trucks coming overnight and the past couple of days. Im on a mountain of this stuff as you can see. Talking about numbers, we measured this with our cnn weather team, the average house around here and what you can calculate as far as the feet of snow on a roof, we averaged it out, if it you have a 2,000 square foot house and four feet of snow on your roof thats 49,600 pounds of snow, thats about average for this area. Four feet of snow on a roof is typical. You wonder how a lot of the roofs can withstand it, a lot are not. We were told by local officials 30 roofs collapsed overnight, thats a huge problem here. You talked about the rain and the flooding thats coming. Theres rain coming tomorrow and over the weekend. Theres a huge meltoff that will happen today and tomorrow. Flooding is a possibility. Theyre already preparing for some swiftwater rescues if they need it. Its unbelievable. Brian todd it makes me cold just looking at you. Brian todd reporting live from buffalo, new york, this morning. New york governor andrew comeau, by tc cuomo will speak at 10 00 eastern time. Well cover that live. Still to come in the newsroom, republicans fighting mad and fighting back against president obama and immigration. House majority leader john boehner to take the podium. What will it mean for the next session of congress . Cnns athena jones in washington this morning. Hi, carol. We heard a lot of angry words from republicans about this announcement, but what about action . Well have more on that when we come back. In a race, its about getting to the finish line. In life, its how you get there that matters most. Like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. My doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. So he talked to me about xarelto®. Xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesnt require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. For a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. Not this time. While i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didnt have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. Dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. Ask your doctor about xarelto® today. You want i fix this mess . A mess . I dont think whats that . Snapshot from progressive. Plug it in, and you can save on Car Insurance based on your good driving. You sell to me . No, its free. You want to try . I try this if you try. Not this. Okay. Da lets head to washington and House Speaker john boehner responding to president obamas plan to overhaul the nations immigration system. Democratic process in enforcing the laws that the president is sworn faithfully to execute. All year long i warned the president that by taking unilateral action on matters such as his Health Care Law or by threatening action repeatedly on immigration he was making it impossible to build the trust necessary to Work Together. As i warned the president , he cant ask the elected representatives of the people to trust you to enforce the law if youre constantly demonstrating that you cant be trusted to enforce the law. The president never listened. And with this action, hes refused to listen to the American People. The president has taken actions that he, himself, has said are those of a king or an emperor, not an american president. And he wants nothing more than both parties to focus on solving the biggest problems in our country, starting with our still struggling economy, and the action by the president yesterday will only encourage more people to come here illegally and putting their lives at risk. We saw the humanitarian crisis on our border last summer, how horrific it was. Well next summer it could be worse and this action also punishes those who have obeyed the law and have waited their turn. With this action the president has chosen to deliberately sabotage any chance of enacting bipartisan reforms that he claims to seek, and as i told the president yesterday, hes damaging the presidency itself. President obama has turned a deaf ear to the people that he was elected and we were elected to serve. But we will not do that. The days ahead, the peoples house will rise to this challenge. We will not stand idle as the president undermines the rule of law in our country and places lives at risk. Well listen to the American People, well work with our members and we will work to protect the constitution of the United States. Reporter mr. Speaker the president says you could have prevented this, mr. Speaker by showing that the house was going to take action on comprehensive Immigration Reform. Did you miss the ball . The president made 38 unilateral changes to the Affordable Care act. The president repeatedly suggested he was going to unilaterally change immigration law, and he created an environment where the members would not trust him and trying to find a way to Work Together was virtually impossible, and i had warned the president over and over that his actions were making it impossible for me to do what he wanted me to do. Reporter mr. Speaker, can you tell us how you plan to respond, how the house plans to respond when the house will respond, and whether or not you agree with chairman rogers that, given how these things are funded, the power of the purse through appropriations is not a constitutional avenue to fight this . Were working with our members and looking at the options that are available to us, but i will say to you, the house will, in fact, act. You started a piecemeal process last year or earlier in this year. Can you renovate that, can you reinvigorate it and move that forward or are you going to start from scratch . As i said at the beginning of my remarks, we have a broken immigration system, and the American People expect us to Work Together to fix it, and we ought to do it in the democratic process, moving bills through the peoples house, through the senate, and to the president s desk. Thank you. Im pretty positive that was sincere, right . Okay, thats House Speaker john boehner. He said the president cannot be trusted to enforce the law, as you probably guessed, republicans are very angry with president obama for using his executive authority to push through an immigration plan, republicans and even some democrats say thats, frankly, illegal and that the president should have waited to do things through congress. Athena jones is covering all of this for us. John bainer is not the only legislator angry about the president s actions last night. Thats right, carol. Lot of republicans are furious. We heard from texas congressman lamar smith who said that the president , with this announcement was declaring war on the American People and on our democracy. Thats just an example of the heated rhetoric weve been hearing. So far the strong words have not been backed up by a clear plan of action, and you heard the reporters asking Speaker Boehner about this today. Weve been asking about this for the last serl days. There are some options that are being considered. One is to cut off funding to the Homeland Security department. The problem here is that the agency that deals with immigrants rights, that deals with immigration, the u. S. Citizenship and Immigration Service is a feebased agency. It runs on fees so it makes it more difficult to try to cut off the funding from one area so that the rest of the government can continue to function but thats one option being looked at. There are some in the rank and file who want the republican side to really press this and go as far as potentially shutting down the government, thats not something that the leadership wants to do right now. Another idea thats been offered by texas senator ted cruz, he believes that the new senate should block the confirmation of any of the president s nominees. So that would include someone like loretta lynch, who has been nominated to replace eric holder as attorney general. Also, the i word, impeachment. There are people who say they dont want to rule that out but again, thats the kind of thing that the Republican Leadership doesnt really want to get into. They dont think that will reflect well on the pear. Other ideas . Centering the president , passing a resolution of disapproval, and maybe a lawsuit, but there are a lot of things being discussed and its just not clear yet, even though Speaker Boehner talked about how the president has been warning that he was going to take this action, they still have not come up with a plan, and so thaepgthats what waiting for. I want to bring in angel reyes rivas, an advocate, College Student and also a dreamer, and reyes mother came to the United States illegally so her children could have a better life. She was deported back to peru in 2009 but her son, angel, remains here, working toward his mothers dream for him. So theres this bitter fight now going on in
