Washington Times ^

House Speaker John A. Boehner on Thursday flatly ruled out chances of the House passing the Senate’s immigration bill, saying his chamber will debate its own bill instead.

Mr. Boehner and his top GOP lieutenants issued a joint statement that seemed designed to tamp down some of the momentum behind the Senaate bill, which emerged from a Senate committee on a bipartisan 13-5 vote earlier this week, and to stake out a House GOP position

Damn. This means they are passing it. I didn’t think it would be that easy.

[neodad]

Which will be much MUCH better I’m sure. /sarcasm

Even as those lawmakers are working, however, the Homeland Security and Judiciary committees are writing individual bills on border security, agricultural guest-workers and an electronic verification system for businesses to check workers’ legal status — all pieces of the broader immigration debate.

That's the correct way to go about it but I'm skeptical it'll be done that way.

If I had a dollar for every time our side said their bad bill was better than the Leftist's bad bill, I'd be independently wealthy.

We don't need new legislation.

WE NEED ENFORCEMENT!  NOW!

Boner will pass some modified Senate/Rubio amnesty.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Homeland Security HAS OPENED ALL THE BORDERS.

[stephenjohnbanker]

NO AMNESTY!!!!

[Signalman]

But seriously, can you imagine the legislation that would have already been passed had the Dems been in control of the House?

we would probably already have single payer by now along with immediate citizenship for illegals.

As currently written, he added. We'll put a fig leaf and a doodad here and there so that those Tea Party hillbillies will swallow it whole. Hey look, a squirrel!

[stephenjohnbanker]

” WE NEED ENFORCEMENT! NOW!”

ALL we need!

[nickcarraway]

Especially if Romney had been elected.

[DoughtyOne]

That’s right. This is so infuriating.

[skeeter]

LOUDER.
