Obama, Republicans Openly Feud Over Immigration Legislation
Partisan bickering over immigration reform legislation intensified on Wednesday as President Barack Obama and House of Representatives Republicans accused each other of standing in the way of progress one year after bipartisan Senate legislation was introduced.
On the one-year anniversary of the Senate bill, Obama went on the attack after a long period of trying to encourage progress in the House.
“Unfortunately, Republicans in the House of Representatives have repeatedly failed to take action, seemingly preferring the status quo of a broken immigration system over meaningful reform,” Obama said in a statement released by the White House.
