WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s anticipated order that would shield millions of immigrants now living illegally in the U.S. from deportation is not without precedent. Two of the last three Republican presidents — Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush — did the same thing in extending amnesty to family members who were not covered by the last major overhaul of immigration law in 1986. There was no political explosion then comparable to the one Republicans are threatening now. A tea party-influenced GOP is poised to erupt if and when Obama follows through on his promise. He wants to extend protection from deportation to millions of immigrant parents and spouses of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, and expand his 2-year-old program that shields immigrants brought illegally to this country as children. “The audacity of this president to think he can completely destroy the rule of law with the stroke of a pen is unfathomable to me,” said GOP Rep. Steve King of Iowa, an outspoken opponent of relaxing U.S. immigration law. “It is unconstitutional, it is cynical, and it violates the will of the American people.” SEE IMMIGRANTS | A8

Hopes and fears as health law signup season opens BY RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The second sign-up season under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul opened, with hopes that this time consumers will have a positive experience. Obama says about a half-million people logged into the federal government’s website on Saturday, the first day of open enrollment. But the fear is that entrenched political opposition and renewed legal challenges may yet collapse the program that’s bringing health care to millions of previously uninsured Americans. The administration can’t afford another technology meltdown. With 7 million paying customers in new insurance markets, the Affordable Care Act has shown it is helping to reduce the number of uninsured. Insurers, not known for altruism, have stuck with the fledgling program despite ongoing technical SEE HEALTH | A8

NORTH BEND — Cops and coffee are a great way to start off the morning. Officers from the North Bend Police Department hosted Coffee with a Cop at Ciccarelli’s Coffee Shop on Friday morning, and North Bend residents strolled in from the rain to have a conversation and a cup of joe with the city’s finest. Police Chief Robert Kappelman said the event provided an excellent opportunity for members of the community to talk with officers about issues and build relationships. “Community members can come talk with us individually, and talk about either nothing or

talk about really serious things,” Kappelman said. “We’ve gotten both.” Kappelman said the majority of interactions between the public and law enforcement happens under emotionally charged situations, and Coffee with a Cop offered a friendlier interaction. Jim Clayholt, a Charleston resident, said being able to speak with law enforcement in a relaxed environment makes a huge impact on the community. “People get the chance to vent their grievances in areas they (normally) wouldn’t,” Clayholt said.
