Get ready for 30 million new voters brought to you by the always accommodating GOPe after all they will claim they can't win this fight either.
The government shutdown isn’t even officially over yet, but President Obama is already trying to pin Republicans in another corner over immigration reform.
In an interview with Univision yesterday, the president said that once the federal government reopened, he would “be pushing to say, call a vote on immigration reform.”
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney reiterated that sentiment in today’s press briefing:
“The President believes that one of the consequences of these manufactured crises is that time is taken away from the pursuit of other goals that we have as a nation, and that includes economic goals…and it goes also to the project of bringing about legislation that he can sign that comprehensively reforms our immigration system in this country.
“Now, that legislation passed the Senate with a significant bipartisan majority, and he absolutely believes that the House ought to take up that legislation and pass it.”
