ແຜນດັ່ງກ່າວ.
U.S. President Barack Obama has announced major new immigration reforms that will temporarily lift the threat of deportation for millions of undocumented residents.
President Obama laid out his plan in a speech from the White House late Thursday, bypassing Congress and enraging Republicans who say they will try to stop him.
"If you've been in America for more than five years; if you have children who are American citizens or legal residents; if you register, pass a criminal background check, and you're willing to pay your fair share of taxes - you'll be able to apply to stay in this country temporarily, without fear of deportation. You can come out of the shadows and get right with the law."
The new executive order, which will take effect in around six months, offers temporary work permits to around 4.7 million qualifying undocumented immigrants.
Republicans slammed the president's action as amnesty, saying it will encourage new waves of illegal immigration. Many vowed an all-out fight to repeal the plan.
House Speaker John Boehner was among those who say the order is unconstitutional. In a video statement, he accused the president of acting like a "king" and an "emperor."
Mr. Obama defended the move's legality, saying both Democratic and Republican presidents have for decades passed similar orders. He blamed gridlock in Congress for making such action necessary.
"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. I want to work with both parties to pass a more permanent legislative solution."
The Democratic-controlled Senate passed an immigration reform bill more than a year ago, which was supported by both parties. But leaders in the Republican-controlled House have refused to bring a bill up for a vote.
It became even more unlikely that Congress would pass an immigration reform bill after this month's mid-term elections, which saw Republicans gain a majority in both houses beginning in January.
It is not clear how Republicans will choose to fight Mr. Obama's order. Some have threatened to shut down the government, while others are looking for ways to ban funding for just the plan itself.
Many have said they will challenge the order in court, but numerous legal experts have said that the president's moves have legal precedent.
