House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy: We're already laying groundwork for border wall legislation
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Congress isn't waiting for President-elect Donald Trump's swearing-in to move on the issue of immigration, saying the wheels are in motion on prepping legislation needed to build Mr. Trump's pledged U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Mr. McCarthy said he has helped put a team in place "so when we're sworn in ... we are able to move the legislation needed to start building the wall."
Mr. McCarthy also said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who said earlier this week that Chicago will always be a "sanctuary city" for illegal immigrants, should focus on the security of his city and the number of murders there.
"The murderers and others that are here illegally - they need to leave this country," Mr. McCarthy said Tuesday on "Fox & Friends."
