Yale-Loehr: Cantor Loss Not Necessarily Fatal to Immigration Reform

"Cantor's loss might make other Republicans facing conservative challenges skittish, said [LexisNexis expert author] Stephen Yale-Loehr, an immigration law professor at Cornell University Law School.  "One primary does not determine the fate of immigration reform, however it does make it harder for Republicans to do anything before the August recess," Yale-Loehr said.  But it's not all up to the House.  President Barack Obama has also been under pressure from immigration activists and members of his own party to use executive action to push through reform — especially if the House fails to act before the recess." - CNN, June 11, 2014.
