House Majority Whip: Legalize undocumented immigrants


BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — Republican leaders, including House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, of Bakersfield, are calling for the first time to give legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants living in the United States.

The GOP leadership is in the process of drafting principles on immigration reform and will soon release a document that outlines the party's position on the politically sensitive and volatile issue.

In a Tuesday evening interview with Eyewitness News, McCarthy said he is in favor of granting legal status to those undocumented immigrants who qualify.

"The principles aren't written yet, but in my personal belief, I think it'll go with legal status that will allow you to work and pay taxes," said McCarthy.

1. I said that he was the wrong choice for Majority Leader in the first place…

The GOPers should have went with the ONLY real choice, Louie Gohmert: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025096749

2. I'm waiting for the crazies to pick either Loony Louie or Zippy the Pinhead Gowdy.

3. It'll be Pete "I can't even stand to look at Obama" Sessions.

He's what passes for a grown-up over on that side.
