RE :”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. “

I am pretty sure that Bohner will do that on immigration. 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

I don't know what you are basing your view on, but I can tell you based on what I have heard from several Congressional offices over the past few weeks along with attending meetings where folks like Lou Barletta and Steve King spoke that we are on a razor's edge when it comes to a comprehensive immigration bill.

I know that a majority of the GOP want an increase in the guest worker programs, increased border security, and a system to track and deport visa overstays. The issue of citizenship can be finessed in any bill. It could start with immediate legalization followed by various metrics for the border security. There could be language in a bill saying that there will be no path to citizenship until those metrics are met. And that same bill could have an increase in the guest worker programs similar to the one in the Gang of 8 bill. The majority of Reps would probably vote for it.

And the Dems will sign on to it knowing that they still have the issue to use against the Reps and allowing them to say that they have legalized the status of the lawbreakers, an important step that allows them to stay and work here.
