Immigrant-rights advocates scrambled Friday to plead with House Speaker John A. Boehner to bring an immigration legalization bill to the floor before he leaves office next month, fearing his replacement will show even more antipathy toward their agenda.
Mr. Boehner had long been pressing his party to tackle immigration, and in the days after President Obamas 2012 re-election the Ohio Republican set one major goal: The House would pass a bill to legalize those in the country without authorization.
But House GOP conservatives threatened a revolt, and Mr. Boehner and his fellow leaders backed off, instead blaming President Obama for ruining chances for cooperation.
Now that hes unshackled by the need to keep his own troops in line, immigration advocates said Mr. Boehner should try again, relying on Democrats to deliver the votes to pass a bill.

It’s like having Jim “Wrong Way” Marshall on your side, only he’s a running back, your coach is Woody “Three things can happen when you pass the ball, and two of `em are bad” Hayes, and Marshall won’t come out of the game until he runs up the score—for the other side.
The next amnesty will happen, likely after the primaries when most congresscritters know that it is unlikely for the people to rally enough support to change to a third party (or write in candidate) instead.
Nothing must get in the way of the cheap labor express. Nothing.
Sounds like what the One World Govt proponents are working toward.
Interesting times.
No matter what is their rallying cry after all. It’s a lesser evil you know...
Find a reason to arrest Boehner and drag is traitor a$$ out in chains.
Immigrant ILLEGAL INVADER-"rights" advocates
There. Fixed it.
Sadly I don’t doubt you’re right.
I think they, eventually, have other plans for them, er, us.
They'll keep a few million around to service themselves and the technologies.
Since he was so touched by the Pope and his message of turning this country third world, I wouldn’t be surprised.
What Boehner did in the last lame duck session of Congress was despicable and awful for the country.
I would feel better if Boehner were led out of Congress today by security and barred from coming back.
I urge these immigrant groups to GET THE HELL OUT OF MY COUNTRY!
Foriegn parasites! virmin! dirty sweaty greasy nasty filth!
Once again we have to start writing to our representatives. We just cannot give up on our country without a fight.
looks like autocorrect on duck.
Never pass.
Oh, now that I read more, they propose to only need 500 mil serfs - so that does leave a lot of people to dispose of!
I agree. He can do a lot of damage in 30 days. House conservatives should still present a motion to vacate the chair.
Excellent Norm! You phrased my frustration and disgust better than I could.
“The next amnesty will happen, likely after the primaries when most congresscritters know that it is unlikely for the people to rally enough support to change to a third party (or write in candidate) instead.”
I hope not. Only if they want to damage their own careers- their election would be months away. in this climate of disgust with RINOs and people loving Trump’s plans for illegals, they’d be committing political suicide.
tell us how you really feel!
Just how all the cards seem to be laying out this time, this, to me, seems like the GOPe’s last gambit if they can't get a cheap labor express candidate in on the nomination.
