RE :” Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-CA) said that he trusted that Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) would cave on immigration: “Once again, the speaker for the majority party is going to be placed in a position of deciding whether he's going to put country before party and get something done. We just need a few courageous Republicans to stand up and say they're ready.”
Republicans, however, pushed back. “It’s not going to happen this year,” said Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID). “After the way the president acted over the last two or three weeks where he would refuse to talk to the speaker of the House…they’re not going to get immigration reform. That’s done.”

I tend to believe this above.
Some Dems now see Bohner as their bitch and so he will pass amnesty as he did the bill yesterday

But the attacks and insults made publicly against Bohner over the past few weeks at some times more than Cruz was getting has not put him in a mood to give Reid and Obama anything, and I bet not the others either.

Maybe Reid should have tied amnesty to the debt limit. Too late.

I hope i am right for sure

Don't bet on it. Cantor and Goodlatte are busy working on a Rep version of the Dream Act. The Reps want more guest workers, which is why they have already passed the STEM Act in the Judiciary Committee. The GOPe and many other Reps are in the pocket of their corporate paymasters., The GOP is busy building a Trojan Horse that can go to conference with the Senate.

Boehner said months ago that one of his biggest priorities was to get an immigration bill done that could be put on the President's desk by the end of December. Paul Ryan is a big player behind the scenes pushing for amnesty. Rumor has it that Boehner will not run again next year. He could care less at this point about the political blow back of putting a bill on the floor ignoring the Hastert rule.

Anyone who thinks that amnesty is not alive and well in the House doesn't understand what is happening behind the scenes. The pressure from corporations on the GOP is enormous. Big, big bucks are involved.

he gave them everything and then some. He gave away Congressional powers to the executive.
