RE :”It may be stating the obvious, but the very fact that all of these high-rollers are descending on the Capitol is clear evidence that they believe they have a solid shot at passing an amnesty and increased guest worker program. They would not be wasting their time tilting at windmills. No doubt, Boehner, Cantor, Ryan, Pete Sessions, Goodlatte, and others are signaling that a deal is possible. “

Maybe
Or they know that this is their last shot till the next congress 2015. The Holidays are coming up and then its election year 2014 and few deals will be made in that climate.

And seeing a Senate bill with all the crap in it has wet their appetite.

I would think that many in HOUSE GOP don't want to give Obama anything now.

The question is whether there are enough of them. Many if not most want an increase in the guest worker program. The Judiciary Committee has already passed out a bill that will do that.

All Boehner has to do is put many of these bills on the floor and a combination of RINOs and Dems will pass it. Boehner only needs about 25 Reps to vote with the Dems. We already had 14 Rep Senators vote for the terrible Gang of 8 bill.
