GOP Lawmaker Warns Colleagues on Immigration

Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) told the Washington Post that President Obama would use executive action on immigration if Congress does not come up with a proposal by the August recess.

Said Diaz-Balart: “I’m convinced that if we don’t get it done by the August break, the president, who is feeling a lot of pressure from having not done anything on immigration reform, will feel that he has to act through executive action.”

However, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) “made it clear Wednesday that the legislation is as dead as ever in the House,” the Huffington Post reports.
