House Speaker John Boehner is not going to bring a comprehensive immigration-reform plan to the floor if a majority of Republicans don't support it, sources familiar with his plans said.
"No way in hell," is how several described the chances of the speaker acting on such a proposal without a majority of his majority behind him.
Boehner, R-Ohio, does not view immigration in the same vein as the fiscal cliff last December, when he backed a bill that protected most Americans from a tax increase even though less than half of the GOP lawmakers were with him, said multiple sources, who spoke anonymously to allow greater candor.

Must be assuaging those that might rebel against him.
I don’t believe him.
No Balls is a master at kabuki theater for the conservatives.
“No way in hell”
I look forward to the transparent lies he will ultimately use to explain how that left plenty of room.
BS. Disinformation from anonymous sources.
So who is “sources familiar with his plans”?
I prefer to see this as a major victory.
It’s not a victory. It’s disinformation.
bump!
Trust but verify..
Does Boehner think Snowden may have something on him, too?
It allows him to play both sides without taking a position as leaders should. Sadly, his position feels pretty greasy if you ask me.
It’s time to write/fax/email/call our US Senators and Congressmen again - they are making another attempt to harm America with amnesty & open borders!
Tell them to vote NO! on the immigration bill and that listed below is what we need to do ASAP to protect America and preserve her freedom from illegal aliens/criminals:
1) Secure our borders
2) Enforce existing law
3) Not allow any amnesty provisions of any kind
4) Improve our visa system
5) Prosecute and fine those businesses which knowingly employ illegal workers
6) Give law enforcement officials the necessary resources and authority to combat illegal immigration
7) Deport illegal aliens violating the law after being fingerprinted, photographed, iris scanned, charged with a felony, and their information placed in a national database.
8) Send a bill for deportation/prison costs to the embassy of the illegal immigrant’s national origin.
9) 2nd time and thereafter repeat offenses by illegal aliens should be sent to work prison camps for a maximum of 6 months - building the southern fence/wall.
10) Seize and liquidate all assets from illegal aliens and use the proceeds for our military and local law enforcement.
11) Must not give illegal immigrants government welfare benefits of any kind, including Social Security
12) Designate English as our national language
13) Change the 14th Amendment regarding birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants
14) Put pressure on the Mexican government and other nations to reduce illegal immigration to America.
15) Encourage only legal immigration and citizenship to for those wanting to become Americans.
These ENFORCED changes would strengthen America greatly.
I hope the fear of the Tea Party and principled members of the House will give him the back bone he so obviously lacks on his own
Did the Tea Party Gang of 70 go to him and threaten to join the Dem Caucus and depose him as Speaker? That’s the only thing that would work IMO.
Sorry, Boehner, this is the type of a thing where your core values matter. A lot. And we re watching.
Stand up for them...or show the world you really don't have any.
NO Legalization of illegals. The very idea is an oxi-moron.
Have them come in and volunteer to be deported. Then, if they are not criminals, then they get a chnace to re-apply legally at the real back of the line...from their country of citzenship. If they will not come in and deport, then we agressively seek them out and deport them, taking DNA samples when we do and ensuring they have no chance to ever come here legally.
Back up all of this with a secure border...truly secure.
After that, we can talk about a new worker's program that feeds off those applying for it from their home countries.
I agree
Just heard one of those phony “conservative” amnesty spots on the Rush Limbaugh show over KKTX-AM.
