Aides to Mr. Boehner said this week that he was committed to what he calls “step by step” moves to revise immigration laws, which they have declined to specify.

This would be good news, since many have said that immigration should be tackled item by item, rather than comprehensively.

Agreed.

Also agree with above poster who asserts that letting NYTimes tell us what’s up is not too smart.

He won’t do anything too big because of the election. I don’t think he wants to upset grassroots voters, but he certainly wants to signal pro-amnesty campaign contributors of his intentions.

The most opportune time to do the dirty work will be after the election in a lame duck session (late November, December 2014).

The GOPe wants to ride the Obamacare train to political victory with conservatives sucked into voting for them out of anger and fear.

Then they get to stab the grassroots in the back.
