President obama is in nevada today after making his anyofnew immigration policy official. Signed two executive orders flying west on friday. We have the latest on the new policy and the political fallout from it. Good morning julianna. Reporter good morning. Republicans reacted furiously saying the president oversterped his authority and yesterday as you mentioned the president was in nevada. The state with the highest proportion of Illegal Immigrants in the u. S. President obama said his immigration measures are a temporary solution and can be voided if Congress Pass as comprehensive bill i. Have a. I have a simple answer. Pass a bill. Reporter selling his movement in las vegas were not giving up. Keep working with members of congress to make permanent reform a reality but until that day comes there are actions that i have the Legal Authority to take be that will help make our immigration system more fair and more just and this morning i began to take some of those actions. Reporter his actions shield an estimated 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation. They apply to adults and children who have lived in america at least five years, and have no criminal record. Adults with children born in the u. S. Or with permanent legal status can also apply for a threeyear work permit. Theres no path to citizenship or access to obamacare, but with the stroke of his pen aboard air force one earlier in the day, president obama officially defied republican warning. House Speaker John Boehner said his party would respond in the days ahead, but didnt offer specifics. 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. Reporter some conservative republicans suggested suing president obama, while others have proposed cutting off funding for agencies that will implement the plan. But by focusing on legal challenges or threats of a Government Shutdown republicans risk alienating hispanic and even some independent voters ahead of the 2016 elections. Now, while republicans weigh their next steps the spread going to embark on a major sales pitch, american support Immigration Reform but are wary of the president acting on his own so hell travel to chicago next week and meet with community representatives. And a look at what challenges lie ahead for the president and what this means for the country, is jonathan allen, Washington Bureau chief forbloomberg news. Jonathan, good morning. Reporter good morning, anthony. Lets start with the president s action heres and why he took it because he knew he was going to sort of ignite a firestorm and polls suggest people dont like the fact he acted alone, so why did he do this now . I think there are a couple of reasons. Number one, i think this is a time where he felt like he could do it. You know hed been told by democrats in congress to wait until after the Midterm Elections, worried this would hurt them. He waited until after the Midterm Elections. They lost their elections anyway. I think he felt this was a good spot to do it but i also think this was a time when the president has seen politically his Approval Ratings drop and dropping because democrats have been less approving of him and i think hes trying to get this base back behind him in some some cases talking hispanics, other cases, democrats more broadly than that. You mentioned that julianna brought it up also. Seems like a balancing act. What do republicans need to do and why is president obama trying to appeal to hispanics . Republicans struggled to find the answer. Clobbered in recent elections by hispanic voters. Democrats became worried after this Midterm Election felt they didnt get enough turnout from hispanic voters. The answer for republicans figure out internally where their party needs to go on this. Hard for them to win a national election, meanering a president ial election unless they nominate candidates who are talking in ways that are much more sensitive to hispanics. Republicans are furious, and realistically, can they stop the president here . Probably not. You know whats going to happen i think in the new congress is youll see the Republican House and the Republicanled Senate maybe with a handful of democratic supporters trying to block this immigration order, trying to pass legislation that would prevent it from going into effect, or stop it repeal it something along those lines, but ultimately, the president would be able to veto any legislation like that if it got to his desk and i think practically its going to be very difficult for the next president to overturn this, unless there is a permanent solution. I think telling people to come out of the shadows, to sign up with the government, perhaps to get work permits to identify themselves and then a couple years from now turning that back is going to be very very diffiult to do politically. Before we let you go the tweet from Hillary Clinton last night. She tweeted shes in support of the bill. Is there a strategy behind that . Yes. I think there is a strategy behind that and i think its i think its that she wants to be the president of the United States come january, 2017 and very much understands that republicans are on the ropes with hispanics and anything short of endorsing this would have been damaging to her with hispanics. John allen, not mincing words this morning. Thank you so much. Take care. President obama sass the target of a republican lawsuit on health care that accuses him of overstepping his authority and implementing the Affordable Care act better known as obamacare, republicans challenge administration claims that more than 7 million americans have signed up. And they argue that the president is circumventing the democratic process. The president s confrontations with republicans in congress will be on the agenda tomorrow morning on face the nation here on cbs. Bob schieffers guest includes congressman michael mccall, republican of texas, luis gutierrez, democrat illinois and a republican of idaho. Also new york city mayor bill de blasio. With just two days to go the International Negotiations over Irans Nuclear program reached a critical stage seeing a breakthrough scientist john kerry extended facetoface talks with his iranian counter part. Reporter just days ahead of that november 24th deadline secretary kerry and irans top Nuclear Negotiator jabadzar ichlti f are scrambling. To no ones surprise proved extremely difficult. One of the key negotiators, British Foreign secretary Philip Hammond said friday they are nowhere near a deal. These are very difficult and technically complex matters and we have a long way to go if we are going to get to a deal before the deadline on monday. Reporter sticking points include how much potential bombmaking material iran should be allowed to and have how quickly economic sanctions would be lifted in return. Iran wants immediate relief. Sanctions have pummeled their economy, but the u. S. Wants to lift them gradually, and only if iran complies with the terms of the deal. Iranian president mu hahawnis under pressure to turn the economy around. A state departments spokeswoman says the peoplefuture 6of iran is at stake. It will allow them the Economic Opportunities they deserve. If not envision a scenario where the economic sanctions we have put in place continue to really cripple the iranian economy. Reporter and president obama is also facing pressure. The nuclear deal is one of his chief Foreign Policy goals. Yet republicans and some democrats in congress are threatening to jeopardize it by heaping on new sanctions. Failure to prevent iran from getting a Nuclear Weapon could kick off an arms race in the already tumultuous middle east. According to this man at the national iranianamerican council. If this diplomatic process fail wes return to the cycle of mutual escalation that existed before the diplomatic process took hold and will go beyond that point. War becomes an increasing possibility. Reporter the stakes, extremely high. At one point on friday irans diplomat said they were flying back to iran to discuss a proposed deal and calmed it all off abruptly. After a series of latenight meetings here in vienna it appears there is still more work to be done. Anthony and vinita . Margaret brennan reporting from vienna.
