House Republicans have been debating whether they should pass immigration reform this year or wait until later. Either choice contains benefits and risks. Here are the pros and cons of delaying immigration reform.

Pros

Obama may not enforce it anyway.

If Republicans pass immigration reform, there is no guarantee that President Barack Obama will implement that law as it is written. This is the reason Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) sayshis caucus is considering delay, and it is not without merit.

Obama has already shown that he will deal with the immigration issue however he wants, regardless of the will of Congress. In 2012, he implemented the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. This program was an executive action version of the Dream Act, which failed to pass in Congress. In other words, Congress debated the Dream Act, voted on the Dream Act, and rejected the Dream Act, but Obama implemented it anyway.

Hillary Clinton Compares Russian President Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler - Video

Last Updated Mar 5, 2014 5:51 PM EST

Hillary Clinton likened Russia's recent military action in Ukraine to Nazi Germany's territorial aggression during the 1930s on Tuesday, according to a report from the Long Beach Press-Telegram.

The former secretary of state, speaking at a private fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Long Beach, said Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to occupy Ukraine's Crimean peninsula under the pretext of protecting ethnic Russians there is similar to "what Hitler did back in the 1930s." (The Los Angeles News Group posted an audio recording of Clinton's remarks on Wednesday.)

"The ethnic Germans, the Germans by ancestry who were in places like Czechoslovakia and Romania and other places, Hitler kept saying they're not being treated right, I must go and protect my people," Clinton said. "And that's what's gotten everybody so nervous."

One attendee told Buzzfeed that Clinton said there is "no indication that Putin is as irrational as the instigator of World War II," but that his actions were still very "destabilizing."

Putin "believes his mission is to restore Russian greatness," Clinton said, according to the Press-Telegram. "When he looks at Ukraine, he sees a place that he believes is by its very nature part of Mother Russia."

Clinton said any negotiation must not sanction Russia's effective annexation of Crimea. "So it's a real nail-biter, right now, but nobody wants to up the rhetoric," she said. "Everybody wants to cool it in order to find a diplomatic solution and that's what we should be trying to do."

Hillary Clinton on Ukraine: Russia behaving like Nazi Germany

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday compared recent actions by Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Ukraine to those implemented by Adolf Hitler in the late 1930s.

Putin's desire to protect minority Russians in Ukraine is reminiscent of Hitler's actions to protect ethnic Germans outside Germany, she said.

Putin has been on a campaign to give Russian passports to anyone who has Russian connections, Clinton said.

The Russian leader has recently done so in the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, which, Clinton said, is similar to what happened in Nazi Germany in the late 1930s. Hitler resettled tens of thousands of ethnic Germans who were living in parts of Europe to Nazi Germany.

Clinton made her comments at a private event benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach, Calif.

Now if this sounds familiar, it's what Hitler did back in the 30s, she said. All the Germans that were ... the ethnic Germans, the Germans by ancestry who were in places like Czechoslovakia and Romania and other places, Hitler kept saying they're not being treated right. I must go and protect my people and that's what's gotten everybody so nervous.

Last week, Putin put Russian troops on the Ukrainian peninsula in Crimea, insisting that Russia has a right to protect its interests and Russian-speakers in Crimea and elsewhere in Ukraine. However, there has been no sign of ethnic Russians facing attacks in Crimea, where they make up about 60 percent of the population, or elsewhere in Ukraine. The decision followed a new government coming to power last week in Ukraine following months of pro-democracy protests against the now-fugitive president, Viktor Yanukovych, and his decision to turn Ukraine toward Russia instead of the European Union.

Putin is a man who believes his mission is to restore Russian greatness, Clinton said.

That includes reasserting control of what used to be countries under the former Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, she said.
