Washington, Muharram 13, 1436, November 06, 2014, SPA -- U.S. President Barack Obama Wednesday stood by his pledge to use executive orders to reduce deportations and improve border security by the end of the year. A day after Americans voted to give complete control of Congress to Republicans, Obama told reporters at a White House news conference that he will take his steps despite the results. “I feel obliged to do everything I can lawfully with my executive authority to make sure that we don’t keep on making the system worse, but that whatever executive actions that I take will be replaced and supplanted by action by Congress,” Obama said. --SPA 11:55 LOCAL TIME 08:55 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
