“... Up to Boehner.”

So that means nothing will be done. Zero will get his way again.

We have some degree of influence with Boehner. He needs to submit a comprehensive immigration law that simply authorizes the states to enforce federal statutes. After all the Constitutional requirement on Congress is to establish a UNIFORM RULE.

Tie that to two things ~ the debt ceiling and the continuing resolution and hold fast.

I'd make DHS executive paygrades dependent on passage ~ else they all turn into GS2s with janitorial duties. Easiest thing in the world to do.
