Becerra: ‘Big Mistake’ to Confuse Cantor’s Loss With Getting Immigration Reform Done

‘It’s gonna get done ... it’s a lot harder to do things the Tea Party way than it is the American way’

Rep. Becerra: Cantor's Loss Not a Rejection of Immigration Reform (CNS News)

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's primary defeat was a "surprise," but it has nothing to do with his support for immigration reform, says Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.), chair of the House Democratic Caucus.

"I think people make a big mistake if they confuse the result in Eric's race with getting immigration reform done. The question on immigration reform is not if we'll get it done, it's when we'll get it done," Becerra told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday.
