Pelosi: Republicans Would Pass Immigration Reform for the Irish

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has judged the GOP–and found it racist. 

Speaking at her weekly press briefing Thursday, she said cuttingly that the reason the GOP has not followed through on a comprehensive immigration reform bill was simple; the GOP would be comfortable with good ol’ white Irishmen immigrating to the United States but not people of another color. 

Pelosi charged, “I think race has something to do with the fact they are not bringing up an immigration bill. I’ve heard them say to the Irish if it was just you, this would be easy.”
