Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) is confident that House Republicans will eventually realize they must call a vote on immigration reform legislation.
“When they understand the magnitude of the demand and the depth of this demand…they’re going to understand that our community really embraces this in a way that it’s going to be very unforgiving to them,” Gutierrez said on MSNBC on Tuesday. “If they want to be a party of localities and provinces and maybe some states, then don’t allow a vote. They will never be a national party ever again.”
The Senate passed immigration reform legislation on Thursday and House Republicans are set to meet on July 10 to discuss how to approach a House version. Speaker of the House John Boehner hasvowed not to move immigration reform legislation through the chamber without the support of a majority of Republicans, raising concerns that the legislation may never be called to a vote.
“There is going to be a vote eventually on comprehensive immigration reform in the House,” Gutierrez said.
Gutierrez also identified the conference committee as being key to passing immigration reform. “We’re going to find a way,” he said.
