Maybe we have covered this but I am still confused:

1) Boehner and company do not allow a vote on the senate bill but they create create and pass a GOP “immigration reform.” Let’s assume for now that it has no path-to-citizenship. Anti-amnesty forces celebrate a great victory.

2) The senate sends its bill and delegates, and the house sends its bill and delegates, to the bicameral conference. Boehner makes sure there are plenty of traitors among the house entourage. The senate group passes the merged bill, and so does the house group. (Note that you are not going to see this on CSPAN, and very few voters will pay attention).

3) The merged bill goes to each house for a vote. I’m not sure Boehner has to bring it up for a vote but I bet he would. Last change to vote it down but, again, the RINOs bail out Obama.

4) Obama signs and the left celebrates. And rightly so. This is the biggest victory ever for them, and the GOP helped. Boehner says he tried his best,

Or better yet, does Rubio go to the GOP House caucus and convince them that they must accept a Senate bill, much like Obama did in 2010 with Obama-care and Pelosi Dems??

Rubio :”Come on guys, I am as conservative as you are. Don't you hear me criticize Obama? Believe me he will hate this bill and after we pass it we can dare him to veto it and he will be in a corner. Then our immigration problem will be solved for once and for all”

Then 2016 Rubio gets the nomination.

Why pass a bill with no pathway? I don’t think they’d bother with this bill if it didn’t have that. These people want to absorb the illegals into our society. That’s the whole ballgame here IMO.
