House Will Do Immigration Reform Piece-by-Piece

House Republicans “will take on the immigration issue in bite-size pieces, shunning pressure to act quickly and rejecting the comprehensive approach embraced in the Senate,” the AP reports.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) also “declined to commit to finishing immigration legislation this year… The approach Goodlatte sketched out was not a surprise, but it was a sign of the obstacles ahead of congressional passage of the kind of far-reaching immigration legislation sought by Obama and introduced last week in the Senate by four Republican and four Democratic lawmakers.”
