As far as the powerful chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee is concerned, the controversial Senate bill on immigration reform is a dead duck.

Appearing Tuesday on “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., told Dobbs that he couldn’t imagine how the Senate bill “could ever be considered in the House of Representatives [when] the overwhelming majority of Republicans are against it.” This, he said “is amnesty. The more the senators deny it, Democrat and Republican, the more they deny it, the more the president denies it, it’s amnesty. And the American people don’t want it. I’ve never seen a disconnect between the will of the people and the actions of elected officials as we’ve seen in the Senate.

“And this is just a total disconnect, and as a Republican, our base is totally against it. But it goes beyond it; these are Reagan Republicans, and Democrats, independents, moderates—across the board people are opposed. They want border security first.”
