McConnell: Immigration bill not on Senate's agenda

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has all but ruled out the Senate making a second attempt at immigration reform legislation this year.

"Honestly ... I can't see us going back to immigration this year unless there was some proposal that the president actually was okay with and said he was willing to sign. I don't think he's okay with anything that I've seen coming our way," McConnell told Fox News.

He added that the "short answer" is it's "not on the agenda in the Senate."

McConnell's comments come as House Republicans are barreling toward a make-or-break moment on their immigration reform fight. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) is expected to pitch a compromise to rank-and-file members during a closed-door caucus meeting on Thursday.

Nothing is on McTurdhole's agenda except more tax cuts for the rich. Come on vote. Let's cut this jerks power short.
