Schumer Blames Rep. Steve King for Blocking Immigration Reform

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday named Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) as the main Republican impediment to "immigration reform" in the House of Representatives.

It's the second time in two weeks that Schumer has demonized King for opposing amnesty for 11 million people who came to this country illegally.

"It is time for the House Republican leadership to decide whether they stand with the majority of the American people and the supposed majority of their conference, or if they're really going to let Steve King continue to dictate the policy of the Republican Party on immigration. Just to be clear, right now Steve King is winning," Schumer said.

Schumer also set an August deadline for House Republicans to pass an immigration bill; and he said if nothing is done by then, President Obama "would be more than justified" in making "whatever changes he feels necessary" to fix the system for people who are "unfairly burdened."

In a speech on the Senate floor, Schumer said it's been 320 days since the Senate passed an immigration reform bill, but House Republicans have done nothing except hand the gavel to "far-right extremists like Steve King."

>stand with the majority of the American people

Where do they get this nonsense? I just don’t see a majority of honest Americans supporting illegal aliens invading America and stealing their tax dollars. It’s hard enough to see the people of NY keeping the Shumer schmuck in office.

The true attitude of the left. They love dictators.

New York was the FIRST “Mistake State”. We should have just made these TORY Luvin’ Pieces of SH!T a territory and just started moving west. A lot of the Problems that the United States has had over the originated in “New Yawk”.

Why, oh why do We, the People have any compelling reasons to vote for any Doormat Republicans, or Obama Democrats who have promised to advance Obama’s Agenda to “Fundamentally transform the United States of America” by increasing the number of undocumented Democrat voters who are Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico?

DUH!

We, the People know that it is time, - - - time for a change.

Extortion with a threat of illegal and un Constitutional abuse of power?

These SOBs forced Nixon to resign over far less.

Where do these foreigners think they get that kind of power?
