Why dont you write Speaker Boehner to encourage him to pronounce the Senates Immigration Bill is D.O.A. in the House? Few people seem to know that the Senate bill has never been presented to the House. If the Dems did, it would be blue-slipped and sent back to the Senate requesting them to modify it by taking out the appropriation language before it could be taken up by the House.
The strategy now for the pro-amnesty supporters is to pass an immigration bill or bills in the House. These bills can then be grouped together and sent to conference with the Senate. The resultant bill that comes out of the conference will look a lot like the Senate bill. The bill will then be passed by both Houses with the majority being Dems aided by a significant number of Reps.
The message to Boehner and the Reps in the House is NO IMMIGRATION BILL PERIOD. Goodlatte and Cantor are preparing a bill that will serve as the Trojan Horse for the Gang of 8 bill. They must be stopped.

There is a little problem, Boehner is a drunk and cannot be relied upon.
Seriously, I recall approx two; MAYBE three years ago when Boehner and Reid were speaking at a Jewish/Isreali function in DC; Boehner came out smashed, it was obvious and embarrassing. Reid followed him up and trashed the right and Boehner himself. Now, ask yourself, do drunks make the best decisions in the world? Only God, the Democrats and Boehner know what his skeletons are at this point. He does a good job right up until its cocktail hour, then all bets are off and that is when the rats make their best deals. We could very well not have a country this time next year at the rate this "leadership" is going. I'm tired of hearing the old schtick of "long term" strategy, etc..etc.. Boehner and the Republicans (minus a few hold the line on principle types) are NO different than run of the mill democrats and it has been said HERE for years and many have been trounced on for saying so. Guess those posters chickenssssss..........are coming hoooooome......to roost.

He wont put a immi-bill up without GOP majority support.
I was posting here from the start that he would do that with CR but I am pretty sure he wont do that with immi-amnesty.
More recent, I even got called defeatist for being right here: Boehner's Shutdown End-game play (you won't like it) 10/15/2013
