BRIAN HUGHES: Obama’s Other Immigration Problem:

President Obama is facing another immigration dilemma exacerbated by his efforts to spare up to 5 million illegal immigrants from deportation: how to address the roughly 6 million who were not covered by his executive action.

Soon after he announced his unilateral move, the most sweeping overhaul to the immigration system in decades, Obama heard complaints from immigration rights advocates that he hadn’t gone far enough. They urged him to grant protections to millions of additional illegal immigrants.

That isn’t so simple for the White House, which already is being accused by conservatives of extending benefits to those who don’t even qualify for a deportation deferral. And if deportations plummet among those not covered by his executive action, Republicans will have even more ammunition to argue Obama is ignoring laws.

While trying to find the middle ground on the contentious issue, Obama is in danger of simultaneously angering the far Left and far Right.

Actually, judging by the polling on immigration, I don’t think that characterization is quite right.
