The White House believes that the election of a new House leadership team has opened up an opportunity to pass immigration reform this summer, presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett said Friday.

Jarrett said the change necessitated by Rep. Eric Cantor’s (R-Va.) surprising primary loss gives new life to immigration reform.

But Jarrett said in discussions with business leaders in recent days that “nobody has said to me they thought his defeat was because of immigration reform.” In recent days, Jarrett shared a dinner with News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch and a breakfast with the Business Roundtable to discuss the topic.

Jarrett also noted that Cantor himself disputed the notion that immigration was to blame during an interview on Sunday.

"I don’t think there is any one reason for the outcome of the election," Cantor told CNN.

Jarrett also indicated that Republican lawmakers had told the White House they would be more able to address immigration reform after the primaries had concluded.

“Leading up to the election, what we were hearing from the House is we’ll wait until the primary season are over,” Jarrett said.

Business today is composed of big government conservatives and rich libs. The reason is because they are not paying enough taxes. That needs to be remedied. Like everyone else I thought that by cutting taxes on these people we would see a reduction in government spending. In reality the opposite has happened. When you don't pay into the government so much what we have now is whagt you get.
