Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) said Monday that immigration reform will be "dead" in the House if lawmakers don't act by early next year.

In an interview with Fusion's Jorge Ramos, Diaz-Balart, one of the key House GOP negotiators for immigration reform, said it would be a "critical mistake" not to act on reform. But he also acknowledged, as he previously told the Washington Post, that it's unrealistic to hope legislation could be passed by the end of this year.
