Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA), a Republican member of the House who supports comprehensive immigration reform, said on Sunday’s 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.”
“I’m confident he’s going to bring it to the floor,” Denham said, according to the Politico story, making a reference to Boehner. “But we’re 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.

Oh for heavens sakes....do Not pretend you are from a district if you are not. The citizens from that particular district deserve to be heard by their representative. Why would you encourage anyone to be dishonest??? That defeats the purpose. They may not agree with you.
Nah. GOP-E wants subminimum-wage workers for their real bosses, who are the only people who count.
Your daddy fought in the A Shau Valley and Khe Sanh? Sucker. Your granddaddy fought in North Africa? Yeah, well, that was a long time ago.
Any person from the other side of the world who'll work for a rich landowner or manufacturing company for 75
They're convinced that their wealth will insulate them, unlike the unfortunate plutocrats of Argos (what, never heard that story? -- wonder why) who, having angered the Argive populace with their arrogance and high-handedness, were dragged out of their houses one day and clubbed to death.
Bump.
I think Barky has made a value judgement that Cracka America is uppity, and anything bad that happens to us in future is just well-deserved "blowback" </off Rat Liespeak> for our uppityness, about which he, possessing the Long Perspective and owning Political Correctness, is well-justified in standing aside with his arms folded while uppity Cracka America takes a pounding from nuclear-armed terrorists and terror-states who are expressing their fully-justified historical rage against uppityness.
Boom, there goes Des Moines. Toldja, crackas. No, historically, it's YOUR fault. Be "post-American" or die!
