President Obama on Sunday defended his decision to use executive action to address immigration, arguing that he's been waiting a while to act on immigration.
"I presided over a process in which the Senate produced a bipartisan bill. I then said to John Boehner, 'John, let's get this passed through the House.' For a year I stood back and let him work on this. He decided not to call the Senate bill and he couldn't produce his own bill," Obama said in an interview with CBS" "Face the Nation," which aired Sunday.
And Obama said he still wants Congress to pass a comprehensive bill that would take the place of his executive action.
"What I'm saying to them, actually, their time hasn't run out. I'm going to do what I can do through executive action," he said. "And in the interim, the minute they pass a bill that addresses the problems with immigration reform, I will sign it and it supercedes whatever actions I take."

It did not pass the House Obama! This means you lost and Americans won. Accept it and get over it or face the wrath of Americans.
