When asked when Obama’s unilateral immigration reform plan will be implemented, how long it will take, how much it will cost, and how it will affect local communities and businesses, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest played politics as usual, deferring all answers to the President’s upcoming announcement later today.
Real Clear Politics White House correspondent Alexis Simendinger asked Earnest a number of reasonable questions regarding the impending executive orders:
“When we get briefed, or we get information, will there be budgetary numbers attached to it? Will we be able to understand more what the projected cost or what the budgetary effect will be?”Earnest responded by saying,
“Well, I don't know if those numbers will be produced, but you are certainly welcome to ask about them. We'll see if we can get you some answers.”
