Boehner Blames Trust Gap With Obama For Immigration Stalemate
ABC News ^ | 2/6/2014 | John Parkinson, Mary Bruce

Posted on 02/07/2014 11:09:45 AM PST by EBH

“One of the biggest obstacles we face is the one of trust,” Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters at a news conference Thursday. “There’s widespread doubt about whether this administration can be trusted to enforce our laws and it’s going to be difficult to move any immigration legislation until that changes.”

Illustrating that distrust, Boehner pointed to Obama’s unilateral moves to change the timeline for implementing the new health care law and the president’s widely publicized intent to circumvent Congress on several other issues through executive orders.

“I never underestimated the difficulty in moving forward this year [on immigration reform] and the reason I said that we need a step-by-step common-sense approach to this is that so we can build trust with the American people that we’re doing this the right way,” Boehner said. ”Now he’s running around the country telling everyone that he’s going to keep acting on his own, keeps talking about his phone and his pen. And he’s feeding more distrust about whether he’s committed to the rule of law.”

NO MORE ILLEGALS. NO MORE ILLEGALS. NO MORE ILLEGALS. NO MORE ILLEGALS.

Hispanic unemployment is off the charts. TODAY. OFF THE CHARTS.

We don't need MORE Hispanics... hire the ones who are already here and unemployed.

THIS IS ONLY BEING DONE TO SIGN UP MORE DEMOCRATS.

NO MORE ILLEGALS. NO MORE ILLEGALS. NO MORE ILLEGALS. NO MORE ILLEGALS.

I don’t believe anything Boehner says; he is untrustworthy.

You never know. He might have been the subject of a “Come to Jesus” meeting by the other members of the house.

Or he could be just another weasel.

Time will tell.

How about unconstitutional and in violation of Statehood integrity contract with a Federal government representing party interests above those of the State Representation?

Being a Speaker does not mean being a little Executive of thebExecutive branch Mr Boehner.

The fact that Boner says “MY” members instead of “THE” members, says a lot about his ego.

And that Boehner has his own clique that excludes those who oppose him.

“Seal the Border First”

Which does what- leaves 20-30 million foreign nationals to continue to live here as illegal aliens?

‘Sealing the border first’ is a bull**** phrase parroted by Hannity and other GOP clowns who refuse to send foreign nationals back to their home countries.

Anything short of Deportation is Amnesty.

If illegals are not deported they are still here. So what good is ‘sealing the border first”?
