House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) was challenged on immigration reform during a press conference on Thursday when he brushed off Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos accusation that he was blocking a bipartisan measure passed in the Senate a year ago.
Since when does Obamacare have [anything] to do with immigration reform? Ramos asked pointedly, after Boehner argued that President Barack Obamas changes to the Affordable Care Act had caused his party not to trust him to follow through on immigration reform.
Me? Blocking? Boehner scoffed. The issue of immigration reform is an issue Ive talked about for 18 months.
The Senate passed it a year ago, and you havent moved on that, Ramos insisted.
I just gave you an answer, Boehner said. Theres nobody more interested in fixing this problem than I am.
You can do it, and you really havent done it, Ramos said.
I appreciate your opinion, thank you, Boehner responded, ending the discussion.
