Both sides in the immigration debate are watching Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) closely after Thursday evening’s emphatic House vote in favor of a bipartisan budget deal.

The calculus is clear in the minds of immigration reform advocates.

They believe Boehner wants to get some kind of deal done on immigration, and any development that replenishes his political capital helps their cause.

That Boehner’s budget victory came as he took on the outside conservative groups that have hampered his ability to lead his conference is an added plus.

“Boehner’s power in the conference is going to be improved,” said Tamar Jacoby, president of the pro-reform, business-oriented ImmigrationWorks USA, in advance of the 332-94 House vote. “Anything that gives him more juice is a good thing.”

Pro-illegals are not “immigration backers”; they’re invasion backers.

because the bonehead wants to help in any way he can to bring about the destruction of America.

Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, and Ryan are truly the enemy within (the Republican party).

Boehner looking more and more like a lame duck. Kinda like this

This is why the end of America is almost a certainty. Prediction: No matter how much damage Obamacare does to the Democrats they not only hold the Senate, they reduce the GOPe’s grip on the House some much as to make it meaningless. Bonehead et al will throw away all of our advantage over the Democrats by giving them 30 million new robotic voters.

Bite me, Tamar.

Boehner needs a GOOD primary opponent.

After reading this.. Congress wants to address immigration, the debt ceiling and even gun control, and I did not see any pending programs intended to help out Americans. Many members of congress are concern with illegal aliens whom must be given a better life.,Americans must have their guns taken away from them..And Americans will be stuck with worthless Obamacare. In due time Obama,many members of congress will alter Obamacare to ensure illegal aliens get full coverage. As Obama has shown he will alter Obamacare laws at will with congress doing nothing
