House Republicans have been subtly<\/a> angling<\/a> for months to quash immigration reform. But after getting<\/a> rolled<\/a> by Democrats in the spending and shutdown fights, conservatives who call the shots in the chamber are more determined than ever to block an overhaul and imperil President Barack Obama’s second-term priority.<\/p>\n

The government shutdown fight has given House conservatives a new pretext<\/strong>: Obama refused to deal with us on the debt, so we won’t deal with him on immigration reform<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

"I know the president has said, well, gee, now this is the time to talk about immigration reform," Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL) told TPM. "He ain’t gonna get a willing partner in the House until he actually gets serious about … his plan to deal with the debt."<\/p>\n

And a new talking point: Obama simply wants to use immigration reform to "destroy" the GOP\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Inserted from <TPM<\/a>><\/p>\n

However, if you think for a minute that those racist bigots EVER intended to negotiate immigration reform in good faith, come see me about purchasing my Amazon ice fishing resort.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
