REP. CHRIS VAN HOLLEN (D-Md.) told an audience at a Georgetown symposium today that he is confident the immigration bill the Senate passed in June has enough bipartisan support in the House of Representatives.
“In the House, in my judgment, that bill would actually pass today if you put it up for a vote,” he said. “In fact, I don’t think there is much dispute over that fact.”
Van Hollen and former Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.) were part of the “Implementing Immigration Reform: Imagining the Possibilities” symposium, co-hosted by Georgetown’s Institute for the Study of International Migration (ISIM) and Deloitte.
While Van Hollen was optimistic, Davis said if Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) can’t get the U.S. House Republicans to approve the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 – if it is even brought to a vote – he might lose his role as Speaker of the House.

We need 17 patriotic House Republicans to commit to electing Pelosi if any amnesty passes.
Awwwww, the Dems just want the illegal votes.........
If any amnesty passes, nothing will matter any more anyway.
That’s my point. The only thing Pelosi could do that Boehner should not do is amnesty.
If amnesty is already passed, Boehner is useless.
Well, I would say that Pelosi could do a lot of damage as Speaker that Boehner would not do. However, it doesn’t matter, because in the next election, or the one after that, the dems and their newly minted illegal alien voters will be in charge in the House, and they will hold the White House and Senate too. And when that happens, they will run amok. Like the Dems in California right now, completely unfettered, passing transgender school bathrooms, outlawing plastic bags, and granting illegal alien driver licenses.
Tom Davis is very good at lecturing conservatives on the need to be more liberal, and to give in on amnesty.
However, Davis retired from Congress because he knew that in the next election he and his positions were about to suffer ignominious defeat.
His wife, who follows his stupid ideas on being more liberal and for amnesty, lost two elections, for the state senate, and for the lieutenant governor.
Yet this clown, who parlayed his Congress tour into a seven figure lobbyist job, still thinks he has winning ideas for Republicans.
