| Description | Pelosi’s timeline is the most ambitious marker laid out by a political leader this year, but echoes other positive remarks from members of both parties in recent days.
While lamenting a “very difficult” political environment on Capitol Hill, Pelosi (D-Calif.), speaking to a Hispanic group in Washington, said immigration stands out as an issue where Democrats and Republicans can work together.
“The good news is that we really do think that … on the immigration issue, that we will, before summer, have comprehensive immigration reform,” Pelosi told the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in the Capitol.
Both Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) on Tuesday said the bipartisan group negotiating a deal in the House is making good progress. |
