`With Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s comments about immigration Sunday, the top two Republicans in Congress have now declared dead the prospects of an overhaul before the 2016 <nobr>elections (http://blogs.rollcall.com/wgdb/john-mccain-white-house-2016-immigration/?dcz=#)</nobr>.
In the aftermath of 2012, when Latinos made up 10 percent of the electorate and President Barack Obama was re-elected resoundingly, Republican lawmakers and strategists predicted the GOP’s White House ambitions were directly tied to the passage of comprehensive immigration legislation. Many of those voices haven’t changed their tune.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., one of the four “gang of eight” Republicans who successfully navigated an immigration overhaul through the Senate in 2013, told CQ Roll Call it will be “extremely difficult” for a Republican to win the White House without action on immigration.`
