Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA), a Republican member of the House who supports comprehensive immigration reform, said on Sundays Univision Al Punto show that House Speaker John Boehner promised him there would be immigration votes in the House of Representatives soon.
Politico reported that according to an English-language translation of the interview where Denham spoke in Spanish, he said House GOP leadership has promised him that there would be more immigration hearings and floor time for immigration legislation some time in the next month or so.
Im confident hes going to bring it to the floor, Denham said, according to the Politico story, making a reference to Boehner. But were going to continue to make sure that the entire country focuses on this, and that we actually get more Republicans that are willing to take a stand and get out there.
Denham has also decided to publicly endorse the House Democrats' immigration bill, introduced by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and others. At a press conference where she and the House Democrats introduced the legislation, Pelosi said the intent of the bill is to get to a conference committee with the Senate's "Gang of Eight" bill.

Not much point in another law under a regime that doesn’t obey or enforce the laws already on the books.
I used to say we had a pantomime president. Now we have a pantomime congress to match.
on the phones again. no bill to conference with the senate. period.
Great!
Better an open Dem than a fraudulent Repub. These guys are a disgrace.
-- Article One, Section 8, the U.S. Constitution "The Congress shall have Power To...establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization..."
The GOPe is on a suicide run
U.S. Constitution, Article Four, Section. 4."The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion..."
Be afraid, very afraid of what is afoot. The GOP’s corporate paymasters desperately want an increase in guest workers, especially skilled ones. The GOP will trade an amnesty for this increase.

I’m afraid I agree w/ your take on the situation.
Boehner and Cantor are not to be trusted...IMO.
Sure seems that way, doesn’t it.
“comprehensive” = 10,000 pages of legal fluff, paybacks and regulations
I want no part of it.
Me neither.
We have to stop it.
Any votes that Boehner brings up will be piecemeal immigration legislation, not a comprehensive bill.
“If they vote any perks to illegal alien invaders then I will walk away from the republican party entirely and forever”
Pretty much sums it up for me. If the GOP votes to allow 11 million (low estimate) illegals to gain permanent status I am done.
Well that makes two of us!
Yeah? So, what happens when it gets to the conference committee?
Boehner is probably looking out for his Jamaican, dredlock, dope dealing son in law and family.
Heh.
The bill would increase the number of H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers, as well as make 55,000 green cards available to foreign graduates of U.S. universities with advanced technical degrees. But to offset making those green cards available, the bill would eliminate the diversity visa and siblings of U.S. citizens. The House bill (or at least, the Issa version) is here.
These bills are Trojan Horses. They will be sent to the Senate and amended to the point that they will be comprehensive bills. Once they are in conference, it is a fait accompli.
Thanks for pointing out the flaw in my thinking...crap.
