GOP Leader Suggests Immigration Strategy Shift

January 29, 2015 · 3:56 pm ET · 8 Comments

Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) began “planting the seed that Republicans might need a different vehicle to fight President Obama’s executive action on immigration other than the Department of Homeland Security funding bill,” Roll Call reports.

“What that best way would be is not mentioned. But Republican leadership has started to mention another lawsuit against the president could be in the cards. Additional legislation might also be another avenue, though it won’t have the same force as the DHS funding bill, which is a must-pass measure if Congress wants to fund the agency past Feb. 27.”
