The House will quickly begin considering broader immigration legislation in weeks ahead even as Republicans are likely to remain mired in conflict with President Obama over a far-reaching executive action that extended amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, Speaker John Boehner announced to members at a closed-door meeting this morning.
“We’re going to get an immigration bill moving pretty quickly,” one GOP lawmaker told Breitbart News.
Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL) said the outlines of the specific legislation that will be considered are still unclear, but he said he expects in time that Boehner will bring bills addressing border security, visa reform, aliens brought to the U.S. illegally as children and “what do you do with the 12 million who are here illegally.”
“I’m not sure that there’s a bill. He’s been pretty adamant that our immigration solution be a step-by-step approach. I think there will be a border security bill but I don’t think we’ll take what the last Congress did wholesale, I think this Congress will work its will,” Schock said.
“Certainly, you have to do visas because 40 percent of those living here illegally came on a legal visa and have overstayed their visa, so we need an improved visa enforcement program. And then, you gotta deal with the kids, and then you gotta answer the question what do you do with the 12 million who are here illegally. So I think those step-by-step bills are what he outlined right before the last election that was the goal for the House. And I think now that we have a Senate that will work with us, that’s the plan,” Schock said.
A GOP aide said Boehner only spoke in conference about moving forward on border security legislation, not other topics of immigration reform...

“Boehner caving in to Obama”
Doesn’t caving imply that there was a difference of opinion in the first place? The blubbering cheetoh is just a darker skinned version of dear leader.
Same uniparty, same agenda, same script.
Of course he is. The plan all along.
As we’ve said time and time, the plan is to resgister as many Mexican squatters as they can, for the Quasi-Insurance ExtortionCare Banking Lobby. That what April 15th is all about, Exaction.
They are the Representatives, not of the People, but of The Lobby, Agencies, and Bureaus. And they want them bribed, culpable, and as incapacitated as possible, so only the Lobby can make decisions.
It's not likely to matter what the House passes initially, as once it gets the Senate they will tack on a version of the Gang of 8 Bill and pass that.
that will go to conference, in which language to deny funding for the illegal POTUS Amnesty will pass alongside a bill to Amnesty those here now AND expand all types of immigration.
they pass it as one bill and will be able to say, with a straight face, they kept their promise to stop Obama's Amnesty.
They will have stopped that illegal action by making it legal.
And there will be millions of Republicans that will support them for it.
Yes, you are correct. I should’ve said, “Boehner is genuflecting to Obama.”
That’s our Squishy.
Of course he is. He is Obama’s biggest butt kisser. If Obama dropped his pants, you would find Bonehead’s lip prints all over his skinny butt.
What about the 3 BILLION contained in the Cromnibus spending bill to bring millions of Muslim refugees to the United States? I don’t see anyone talking about this.
Hey all, Awesome plan! Lets elect Jon and Mitch and other RINOs because the dems are worse!
No matter what!
Because OBVIOUSLY that is what will get America back on track
Now since lately some folks cant detect obvious sarcasm, let me point out that was. Below is not.
Bhoner is simply a reflection of the abject morons that sent him back to DC. He and the other traitorous pond scum would not BE THERE DOING THIS had a bunch of traitorous pond scum not willfully and with full knowledge, SENT THEM THERE.
Don’t blame liberals for being liberals. Blame conservative (choke) liars that say one thing and do another.
The Chamber of Amnesty has paid their millions now they want action!
This is good -
1. secure the border
2. illegal aliens not allowed to work
3. current laws prohibiting employers from hiring illegals strictly enforced.
4. no welfare benefits
5. children born to illegals here are not US citizens.
6. hospital expenses incurred in US to be payable by Mexican government (or other county) - go through international court if US courts balk.
7. If a migrant agriculture labor program is renewed, illegal aliens not eligible - recruit from home country only (not US), with portion of wages earned payable upon their return.
The result of these measures will be massive self deportation.
Exactly right. We don’t need more words. We need more action.
Why are new LAWS needed when we have a DICK TATOR who will not enforce the laws on the books? USELESS SPEAKER.
One exception: "go through international court if US courts balk"
That could be a dangerous and slippery slope which could set presidence for the opposition (liberals) to use for their own agendas on strict gun laws, the death penalty...etc.
We need more words to gain support for our actions... new words, new stories from a different perspective.
We must talk about the millions of America loving individualists who believe in our capitalist system who stand in line at our embassy in their home country applying legally for their VISA to come to the USA only to be denied access while the government bends over backwards for the ones who did not do it the right way and instead crossed over without papers.
Those against Amnesty must talk about the broken families, wives who wish their husbands return home to be spending time with the children.
The mother in the US whose 11 year old son finally made it to the USA to be with her after several years with the grandmother in Guatemala. His silence and emotions which indicate he was possibly molested by those that were paid to bring him across the border but left him behind to die. When asked if she would do it again if she could go back in time she relied that she would have never left her country and children if she could do it again because she said after years go by the love disappears. The child reacts to you more like you're an aunt or a family friend and not like you're the mother and she even admitted that she found it hard to relate to her own child after years of not seeing him. (I saw this on a reality movie of children leaving central America on Netflix - so disturbing I have not yet finished watching it).
We must make it clear that these illegals are NOT victims of those against Amnesty, they are victims of those who support Amnesty.
SECURE THE BORDER AND ENFORCE THE IMMIGRATION LAWS.......that’s all the Bill needs to say
Cannot be said enough but what will be said is;
“We will have to pass it before what we will know what is in it”
You can bet it will not be good for America.
Deport the illegal invaders.
Use the LEGAL American Citizen to ROUND them up by paying a bounty.
Pay a bounty to a LEGAL American Citizen that turns evidence on a company that hires them.
Only if the president in power and involved civil servants is threatened with criminal penalties, will the border be protected - no matter what the law is. The globalists want an open border and so it is so.
ah, just in time for Paris attack, muddying the issues with the language applied to immigration.
Obviously the GOPe are illiterates who do not care what kind nor how these migrants are going to be selected.... selection is only for liberals, like fags, islamic extremists and antispeech antiscience atheists.
