7:04 am
the clean-up effort pushed on. >> i was in mexico a week ago. i come home to this. seven foot of snow. >> reporter: some people in the suburbs and nearby towns are turning to heavy machinery to clear feet of wet heavy snow. thousands of workers are now streaming into the region to help. >> this is i believe the largest deployment of its kind ever. literally thousands of people from across the state coming in to help. more help is on the way. >> reporter: officials are worried that warming temperatures along with a chance of rain over the next few days will add weight to the snow sitting on roofs and that can lead to collapses. >> we know of 30 collapses that were reported to us overnight. there will certainly be more collapses. >> we met janice as she was clearing several feet of snow from her roof. >> this is back-breaking work. how are you doing it?

7:06 am
in the west. we are tacking a storm coming into the pacific northwest today. just showers right now. but that will fill in as the steadier rain with embedded downpours, heavy at times, through the course of today. that rain is going to change to snow in the mountains, letting up as rain at the coastline. leftover showers tomorrow. rainfall totals will be either side of an inch of rain. locally higher amounts the closer you get to the coastline. snowfall amounts may top out over a foot in the highest elevations of the mountains. high temperatures today, coldest from the midwest into the northeast with highs in the 20s and 30s. milder air in the southern plains. 50 in seattle. in the 60s to near 70 from san francisco to l.a. only in the 50s from salt lake city to denver today. president obama today will try to rally support for the immigration plan he unveiled last night. the president's taking executive action to change deportation policy. it could keep millions of undocumented immigrants in the united states. major garrett is in las vegas
7:07 am
where the president will begin selling his plan. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. president which will sign the memo, setting all of his policies in motion here at del sol high school. from this spot nearly two years ago, the president called on congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. knowing republicans are furious with his unilateral actions, the president will say there is one way they can be all wiped away, for congress to pass a bill the president can sign. anticipating republican charges of blanket amnesty, president obama said the current system without his changes amounts to amnesty by inaction. >> millions of people who live here without paying their taxes or playing by the rules, while politicians use the issue to scare people and whip up votes at election time. >> reporter: it was an odd complaint. the president broke a promise to take these actions in september. all to shield nervous senate democrats fearful of the political backlash. the president's actions do the following.
7:08 am
lift the threat of deportation from an estimated 5 million undocumented adults and children who have lived in america at least five years. adults with children born in the u.s. or with permanent legal status can also apply for a three-year work permit. >> most of these immigrants have been here a long time. they work hard. often in tough, low-paying jobs. >> reporter: it also keeps the summer surge of border patrol agents on the southern border and prioritizes it is hunt for border crossers with ties to terrorism or violent crime. >> felons, not families. criminals, not children. gang members. not a mom who's working hard to provide for her kids. >> reporter: lastly, it simplifies the visa process and would allow longer stays for high-tech foreign workers and foreign students pursuing science, engineering or math degrees. for activists disappointed by white house indifference, it all sounded like a few day. >> it's almost unreal because for six years, we've had a
7:09 am
different president obama. when he came into office, we believed his campaign promises. we believed he was going to make immigration a priority. >> reporter: all these changes last only as long as president obama remains in office. the next president can extend them or eliminate them. sign-ups start in the spring. there's a lengthy verification process, meaning some undocumented immigrants may not receive this legal protection until 2016, and that could well mean their legal status in this country will literally be on the presidential ballot. gayle. republicans say they will not accept the president's plan to side-step congress. house speaker john boehner spoke to reporters a short time ago. >> the president never listened. with this action, he's refused to listen to the american people. the president has taken actions that he himself has said are those of a king or an emperor. not an american president. >> nancy cordes is on capitol hill where she just attended that news conference. nancy, good morning.
7:10 am
>> good morning. it really runs the gamut, from those who say the president is breaking the law and waging war on democracy itself to those who say they actually support some of the measures he's proposing but that it is congress' place to change the law and not the president's. the senate did pass bipartisan legislation about a year and a half ago. but it has gotten held up in the house, where many republicans believe you have to tackle border security first before you can address the status of those who came here illegally. i asked the speaker about that stalled legislation a short time ago. >> the president says you could have prevented this, mr. speaker, by showing that the house was going to take action on comprehensive immigration reform. did you miss the boat? >> the president made 38 unilateral changes to the affordable care act. the president repeatedly suggested that he was going to
7:11 am
unilaterally change immigration law. and he created an environment where the members would not trust him. and trying to find a way to work together was virtually impossible. i warned the president over and over that his actions were making it impossible for me to do what he wanted me to do. >> reporter: he wouldn't say exactly what republicans plan to do now, but some of them want to sue the president, while others want to cut some of the funding to agencies that will be involved in implementing the president's plan. >> nancy, thanks. rising tensions in ferguson, missouri, led to a new confrontation overnight. several arrested outside the local police department. the city's waiting for a grand jury to decide if a white police officer should be indicted for killing an unarmed black teenager. >> reporter: good morning to our viewers in the west. those overnight clashes help explain why the mayor of st. louis has requested 400 additional national guard troops to keep the piece. those troops should be in place

7:13 am
i'm concerned. i'm concerned when we have a state of emergency before there is an emergency. >> reporter: 1,000 local police have gone through added training in how to deal peacefully with protesters. along ferguson's streets, demonstrators are also getting ready. >> let me take a picture of your hands. they didn't know exactly what i was going to do with it. >> reporter: damon davis is a local artist with a project called all hands on deck. he is plastering images of raised hands along the boarded store fronts of west floresant avenue, the scene of last summer's protests. >> a lot of different hands, different age, different race, to call to people we need everybody. >> reporter: the missouri governor was giving a speech at a high school. a half dozen students walked out, their hands in the air, a gesture of solidarity with protesters in ferguson. >> mark, thanks. this morn, police are still trying to figure out why a
