RE :”Rep. Matt Salmon (R-AZ) said on Wednesday at the Heritage Foundation-hosted Conversations with Conservatives press event that House Speaker John Boehner has promised him that the Senate’s “Gang of Eight” immigration bill is dead in the House. “I very recently had a conversation with the Speaker and if immigration reform moves, it’s going to move piecemeal,” Salmon said in response to a question from Breitbart News. “And it will go over one bill at a time and if there is any kind of conference, it will be on specific bills we send over. It will not be on the Gang of Eight bill.” While Boehner’s spokesman Michael Steel has not immediately responded to confirm what Salmon said, if true it means the push for amnesty is dead.”

Poor Bohner the goat kicked by everyone. Gets to own the surrender, all of them. Just like WWI and Germans and that poor sap sent out to sign the surrender and later murdered.

I actually think the above is true and I kind of did before this, and I am not known here as any Pollyanna.

Perdogg called this first, that the clock would run out and the Senate would get nothing they would accept

And maybe the shutdown fight (with the fail ) was a positive in this amnesty fight. Lost time and hurt feelings kill it.

Well, SOL, if the "Congressional Coach" says amnesty's dead---it MUST be dead.

Course, my fave moment was when the Wash/Po recently said amnesty was dead....and the amnesty-pimps went ballistic. The somber report WRT the burial of amnesty included a funereal quote from despondent pimp, Rep Luis Gutierrez (Dem-Third World), who had only recently sap-happily announced "we have the votes" for amnesty.

ROTFL. Does it get any stupider than that?

Yup.

GUTIERREZ HAS BIG PLANS---TO HIM, AMNESTY IS ONLY THE BEGINNING : "Once Congress approves an immigration increase, minorities should demand more, said Gutierrez, a leading advocate of the DOA Senate bill.

“The next day after we pass it, you know we’re not going to be satisfied, we’re going to come back,” he said. “We’re going to have a civil rights act, we’re going to have a voting rights act… Nobody is leaving this fight once we conclude this first chapter,” he said. "Hopefully, in 30 years, [we] can bring immigrants… from all over the world,” Gutierrez said.
