U.S. President Barack Obama inspects the honour guards with China's President Xi Jinping (not pictured) during a welcoming ceremony at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, November 12, 2014.


The newspaper, citing administration officials with direct knowledge of the plan, said the overhaul may be announced as soon as next week. Officials said the plan would allow many parents of children who are American citizens or legal residents to obtain legal work documents and stay in the United States.


Republicans, who will take control the new Congress in January, have warned Obama not to take unilateral action on immigration.
