Boehner says he wants immigration reform

Seriously? Remind me, what is his job? Yes. speaker of the House. So, what is blocking him to put a bill on the floor?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2014/03/03/john-boehner-says-the-right-thing-about-immigration/


Boehner’s suggestion that he has been “tackled by people that just don’t want to deal with it” is an oddly passive construction, given that he is the Speaker of the House of Representatives.


Either a terrible speaker without any power on his conference, or a liar.

of my support for immigration reform to use for Republican campaigning in 2014, we just figured out people actually care about reform so we need to pretend like we support it."
