Reactionary Republicans

http://www.voanews.com/content/obama-planning-to-shield-millions-from-deportation/2520454.html

So, here's my thing. I've read four or five of articles along the same line as this one. Basically, the president is going to hold off deportations for children fleeing violence from Central America and their parents. And the Republicans are calling foul. The argument runs that he's abusing his executive power, yadda yadda yadda.

I have yet to hear any plan for immigration reform by Republicans beyond 'whatever Obama does, we will block it'. I don't think the reactive game plan is ever a good idea, but this just hits me as childish. I can't find anything in my casual searching on what Republicans plan on doing, I just keep hearing about what Obama is going to do, which tends to be stable. He's going to protect children and their families fleeing violence from drugs and war in Central America. Yes there's five million of them but how is that not the right thing to do?
