President Barack Obama gives a 'thumbs-up' after awarding the National Medals of Science and National Medals of Technology and Innovation, Thursday, Nov. 20, 2014, in the East Room of the White House in Washington. On Thursday night, the president is poised to level broad authority to grant work permits to millions of immigrants living illegally in the US and to protect them from deportation, but the plan would leave the fate of millions more still unresolved. Republicans vowed an all-out fight against it. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)
