Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) on Thursday said he does not believe Republicans inability to pass immigration reform will hurt the party in the midterms.

"Americans care more about Americans," King explained to Talking Points Memo.

His comment came moments before the House rejected a hardline immigration bill from Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.). The House also postponed a vote on a compromise immigration bill backed by GOP centrists to Friday.

The compromise bill would seek $25 billion for Trump’s border wall, offer a path to citizenship for young undocumented immigrants and keep migrant families together.
