Remember earlier this year when House Republicans said they would deal with immigration reform once the primaries were over? Well, according to The Wall Street Journal, House Speaker John Boehner told a group of donors that they'll pass bills addressing the issue this summer.

At a fundraiser in Las Vegas last month, Boehner told a gorup that he was "hellbent on getting this done this year," as several participants confirmed to the Journal's Laura Meckler. Another member of the House, Virginia Rep. Bob Goodlatte, told a business group in Silicon Valley that he was optimistic about getting something done. Goodlatte suggested that the House would consider five to seven bills that an aide to another representative said would be ready to go in June or July.
There is a very good chance that Boehner was telling donors what they want to hear. The split in the Republican Party is largely between donors and established institutions — who favor moderate policy moves including immigration reform aimed at securing Latino votes for future elections — and the far-right activist base, which supports much stronger restrictions on immigration, political realities notwithstanding.

Shut down the borders, no government funded benefits to anyone here illegally, including education for their children, require that employers use E-verify or face heavy fines and prison sentences and we won’t need any new laws or regulations.

Are there enough non-evil/coward/traitor Rs in Congress to stop this?
So, uh, that’s the last thing they’ll ever do in the Congress.
After that, hope they have some nice K street jobs to head to.
Good question...
There was a question on another thread yesterday "what's the biggest threat fasing the US and Europe"? The answer isn't even hard....it's allowing ourselves to be invaded.
If invaders aren't sent home and the US doesn't stabilize our population, there's no saving the US. We might as well let the dems have the HOR, US Senate, and Presidency. I'm sick of the HOR having a Republican majority, but accomplishing absolutely nothing. If any of them are still talking about immigration reform, they really, really don't understand anything about constitutional conservative values.
grrrr.....
Rotten bastards!!!!
We need to vote the people out who betray us ... even if they have an “R” by their names.
No, but there is enough RINO’s and Rats to pass it.
