McConnell: No Immigration Bill Until We Have a ‘Different President’

‘I think when the president took the action he did after the 2014 election he pretty much made it impossible for us to go forward with immigration reform’

MCCONNELL: “Not this Congress. I think when the president took the action he did after the 2014 election, he pretty much made it impossible for us to go forward with immigration reform this Congress. The concern that we expressed about that, I think was validated by the fact that he is currently under a court ordered not to go forward with what he decided to do. And so the atmosphere for dealing with that issue in the wake of what he did is not appropriate to get the kind of immigration reform that we probably need to address, hopefully in the next Congress -- where we will have for sure a different president.”
