RE :”But Boehner’s comments suggested action in the House is possible as well. In response to a question, Boehner said it is “time to deal” with changes to immigration law. Republican leaders, long opposed to legal changes that would allow more than 11 million undocumented immigrants to obtain legal residency, are increasingly shifting on the issue. They fear alienating a growing bloc of Latino voters whose opposition could force the party into a permanent minority status.
“There’s a bipartisan group of members who have been meeting for three or four years now,” Boehner told the Ripon Society. “Frankly, I think they basically have an agreement. I’ve not seen the agreement. I don’t know all the pitfalls. But it’s, in my view, the right group of members.”
A spokesman for Boehner told the Post that Boehner was referring merely to conversations between members. “Informal groups of members constantly meet to discuss all kinds of issues–including immigration,” said spokesman Michael Steel.
Steel told the Hill that no legislation is pending. “At this point, there is no such legislation scheduled for a hearing, let alone a markup, in the committees of jurisdiction in the House,” he said.”

Looks like trouble. ‘bipartisan group of members’ ???

The tax fight was just stupid and I don't expect the House to be banning any guns or magazines anytime soon. But here is where they can get into trouble.

The last part that they have no bill is hopeful,
