Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) urged their House Republican colleagues to pass immigration reform legislation in a closed-door meeting Wednesday, with the Speaker arguing his conference would be “in a much weaker position” if it failed to act.
A divided House Republican conference met for more than two hours in the basement of the Capitol to begin hashing out a response to the sweeping immigration bill the Senate passed last month.
-snip-
He (Issa) said the House would deal with the 11 million illegal immigrants, but that the conference viewed them not as a uniform block, but in three distinct categories: “Those who should remain, those who should not remain, and those who would fall within guest workers or other programs.”

Boehner and Ryan have to GO. Those two weak scumbags are an embarrassment.
A dangerous embarrassment.
Issa is filthy dirty, and I don't trust him as far as I can kick him.
This Speaker is ignorant and unwilling to use the power of his position.
A true gutless wonder selling out our nation.
All congress has to do is pass a law that says illegals can’t send their children to tax payer funded schools, no welfare, no food stamps, no section 8 housing and exempt it from judicial review. Yes they can do this and it is constitutional.
Vote BoneHead out of Speakership NOW !!!
But Plyler overturned what seemed to be a constitutional state law. The Judicial bramch is like black magic.
JMHO
A “much weaker position” to do WHAT? If they aren’t there to stop things like this bill, why are they there at all?
What a bunch of gutless wonders we send up there every year that just abandon their principles on arrival.
This guy is a Judas, a Benedict Arnold traitor to America. BOEHNER IS JUST AS MUCH THE ENEMY AS BARACK OBAMA.
GOP plutocrats are driving amnesty. People like Murdoch and the Koch brothers and large corporate interests want it. In the end, though, I don't see that they have an alternative to the GOP for defending their interests.
Why does any illegal invader get any special consideration?
What other laws, that they’ve already broken, makes one ‘those who should remain’ vs. ‘not’, let alone the 14%+ unemployment and those that get grouped into ‘guest worker’??
Exactly how is any of this NOT a slap in the face of 1) Law-abiding Citizens 2) those lawfully IN line to become Citizens?
Really? And the spineless wonder was unknown to be so already??? If not, the GOP is too stupid (but I repeat myself) or too inept to see the forest for the trees.
If so, why did not ANYONE else step up to the plate to challenge the seat?
IMHO, they ALL should be tossed as ineffective, go-along-to-get-along, cork-soakers (OK, MAYBE one/two can stay). They sure as shit don’t care about those that put them in D.C., let alone about the Constitution (how fast was that last bill re: “Show me the clause on every bill”??)
We know what Boeher is....a cowardly drunk.
Here’s the actual statement of the House leadership, it’s NOT what the Hill reported in this article: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3041685/posts
” This guy is a Judas, a Benedict Arnold traitor to America. BOEHNER IS JUST AS MUCH THE ENEMY AS BARACK OBAMA.”
I see no distinction either.
Yet everybody we really need to listen to him... or he might cry.
” pursuing a step-by-step, common-sense approach to actually fix the problem. “
Don’t want any bill. Enforce the law.
The first one would be a betrayal, it's what we fear, the passing of a bill that would be the Trojan Horse to go to conference with the Senate bill.
The second: He IS killing the bill, while defusing the media/democrat demagoguery by making it look like he's giving it a chance. The reason I'm thinking this is his likely method: He won't allow ANY vote on something the majority of the House GOP wants to bring up, otherwise known as the Hastert rule.
I'm not trusting enough to believe we've won, I just think it's leaning our way as long as we keep the pressure on. I hope this is true, see some evidence of it being true, just don't trust it yet.....
Oh, and there’s actually NOTHING the House can do about enforcement, sad but true.
