All I can tell you is my congressman and Deputy Whip, Pete Roskam (IL-6), told me to my face he is not for amnesty. So we’ll see if Boehner has the votes.

Good to hear. Boener simply doesn’t have the votes. I have NO DOUBT that he’d like to ‘defuse’ this Constitutional Crisis by passing Amnesty, but his problem is the HUGE NUMBER of conservatives that see nothing good coming from.
” told me to my face he is not for amnesty”
That’s a word game for the GOPe. They redefine “amnesty” to suit themselves. Dubya claimed he wasn’t for amnesty the whole time that he was trying to force it on us.
Some of them now call it “regularization”. It’s amnesty. They are just lying.
If he decides to ignore the Hastert rule, sure he has the votes.
