Mitch McConnell: No Immigration Reform this Congress, ‘Hopefully in the Next Congress’

Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has ruled out immigration reform this Congress.

Speaking to reporters at a Thursday press conference McConnell pointed to President Obama’s November executive amnesty as the primary reason why immigration reform is off the table until after the 2016 presidential election.

“Not this Congress,” McConnell said of the possibility of bipartisan immigration reform. “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 Kentucky lawmaker argued that the February injunction put in place by a federal district judge, halting the executive amnesty programs — Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals — supports Republicans’ objections to Obama’s actions.

“The concern that we expressed about that I think was validated by the fact that he is currently under a court order 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,” he said.

McConnell did sound a positive note about the potential for immigration reform next Congress.

“Hopefully in the next Congress we’ll do it, where we’ll have for sure a different president,” he said.

Shut up you grand liar Mitch McConnell! You cannot go forward on immigration reform amnesty right now because there are too many real conservatives stopping you in the US House! And what Obama is doing with Executive Action Amnesty (rule by memo) is because Mitch McConnell and John Boehner have promised behind the scenes to publicly condemn while privately protect him doing that!

There is a special circle in hell for people like Mitch McConnell and the worst news is that hear on Earth their lies and sins make life more tortuous for millions of people like us!
