WASHINGTON _ Republican senators who previously said immigration was a dead issue said Thursday the House immigration plan drafted by House Speaker Paul Ryan could get a vote in their chamber.
"If the House passes something the president would sign, I'll take a look at it," said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
Before the House immigration deal he told Fox News last week that immigration was "not on the agenda in the Senate." It was not on his list of priorities for the August recess released in May.
