The White House is drafting a backup immigration reform plan in case a bipartisan congressional committee working on a bill fails, an Obama Administration official said on Sunday, though a key Republican said the president's plan would be "dead on arrival" on Capitol Hill.

Barack Obama's win in the U.S. presidential election highlighted how population shifts -- ethnic and generational -- have buoyed Democrats while forcing Republicans to rethink their message.

Republican leaders in the U.S. Congress expressed surprise and doubt on Tuesday about President Barack Obama's comment in debate with Republican challenger Mitt Romney that the automatic spending cuts set for the new year "will not happen."
