Cassidy Responds to @RepMarkTakano

Statement

Date: July 11, 2013
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Immigration

Congressman Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) responded to the "suggestions" of @RepMarkTakano for his immigration letter to Speaker Boehner:

"This embodies everything that is wrong with Washington -- rank partisanship and pettiness while posturing oneself as above the fray and superior.

"All this letter asks for is what the American people want -- transparency and deliberation in addressing our illegal immigration problem. Representative Takano wants us to pass a massive bill quickly without even knowing what's in it. Ironically, he attacks the GOP for wanting to break the process up into smaller, more focused reforms.

"Representative Takano's action and grandstanding represent everything Americans hate about Washington, but I won't let his partisanship stand for all of us. My colleagues and I are absolutely going to keep requesting that the Speaker listen to the American people, not the big money interests and rank partisans trying to bully and intimidate members of Congress to quickly pass this massive amnesty bill."
