New DCCC Chairman on Immigration Exec Orders: ‘This Is the First Step’

‘I hope that House Republicans use the rest of this year to move comprehensive immigration reform because it’s House Republicans that have been stalling this bill for 510 days’

REP. BEN RAY LUJAN, DCCC CHAIRMAN (D-New Mexico): This is the first step, and the President's taken an important step, but it's the first step. I hope that House Republicans use the rest of this year to move comprehensive immigration reform because it's House Republicans that have been stalling this bill for 510 days. Republicans have a chance to act, but sadly we're hearing more and more talk from Republicans about a government shutdown. I'm certainly hopeful they're listening to the American people because the American people do not want the government shut down.
