It was over a year ago that 4 Democratic and 4 Republican Congresspersons worked together to draft the first sweeping immigration reforms since 86. I remember reading about the bill. Here's an article/recap: http://edition.cnn.com/2013/06/27/politics/immigration/
That was June 2013. At that time, Boehner vowed that the bill would get nowhere in the House; the GOP-driven House was gonna draft their own reform bill. And, he said, being that border control and managing immigration were such pressing problems, it was gonna be a priority to do so by the end of 2013. That has not happened.
If Obama was driving some sort of international conspiracy (which I personally don't believe), he couldn't have done it without the House digging its heels in and stalling any progress until the problem reached crisis/emergency classification.
