Immigration Agreement: Mcconnell and Bourbon

immigration agreement: There was even ribbing when Schumer presented McConnell with a bottle of bourbon made in his home New York City borough of Brooklyn, according to Metro News. McConnell, whose state knows a thing or two about bourbon, proclaimed, There's no such thing as Brooklyn bourbon. We really do get along, despite what you read in the press, said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., at a previously scheduled appearance alongside his counterpart, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., at the University of Louisville. But just days after the two leaders brokered a bipartisan 400 billion budget agreement and helped shepherd it into law, both men made clear that an immigration agreement will be tough. He said while Democrats have called for swift action on immigration, Now's the time to back up the talk with the hard work of finding a solution. The time for political posturing is behind us, McConnell said later Monday on the Senate floor. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
