Speaker of the House John Boehner, speaking to a group of donors at a Republican Party fundraiser last month, pledged that the House would pass several immigration bills this summer. Several attendees at the fundraiser told the Wall Street Journal’s Laura Meckler that Boehner said he was “hellbent on getting this done this year.”
One of Boehner’s House colleagues, Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), who is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said during a recent trip to Silicon Valley that legislative action this year was “entirely possible,” with the House likely voting this summer on five to seven immigration bills. Carl Guardino, chief executive of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, which hosted Goodlatte’s visit, related the congressman’s statement to the Journal.
On April 18, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) issued a statement expressing his apprehension about a possible House immigration vote. After noting that President Obama and congressional Democrats have “put their collective weight behind an immigration bill that delivers a sweeping amnesty for open borders groups and a huge guest worker surge for corporations,” Sessions observed that — according to the Wall Street Journal report — “House GOP leaders are considering a plan to move an apparently similar immigration plan this summer.”
Sessions warned that the move that the House Republican leadership seems intent on taking would be bad on several counts. The first of these is political: Since public trust in President Obama is at a record low, holding a vote on the type of immigrations bills likely to be introduced would amount to a reversal of the position the GOP took before the primary season. Such an about face would “represent a colossal breach of the public trust,” maintained the senator, because American workers count on Republicans to protect their jobs from guest workers and illegal immigrants.

I can’t believe they are THAT STUPID!! I’m never voting Republican again....what for??
They will surely not hamstring themselves with this immigration bill NOBODY wants right before the election would they? They are not that stupid are they?
Where do I turn in my citizenship? DC doesn’t give a crap about me and I am sick and tired of paying for this crap. Go to hell boehner!
Yes they are that stupid.
Does Obama have pictures of Boehner at a gay bar?
They are establishment republicans, essentially the same as the democrats they purport to oppose. The republican party is lost unless WE reclaim it forcefully. Vote every single one of them out of office. Hold them accountable! Burn up their phones in-boxes, and especially fax machines!
Remember: the lesser of two evils is still evil.
I’ve given up on reclaiming the Republican party. It’s a lost cause. Time for a conservative party.
Boehner is such a dirtbag.
Obama has had almost 6 years to start building a wall. There is no intent to ever build a wall.
Boehner and his clowns do more damage to the republican party than any democrat.
Why the rush?
Because they can hear the backlash from conservative-leaning voters. The progressives of both parties are about to lose their majority in the coming election. GOP “leaders” are behaving like the Democrats who rammed through Obamacare before they lost their hold on both houses!

The progressives see “immigration reform” as their golden goose to a more comfortable electoral future. Pass it now while we can!
That’s a fact!
Don't be foolish. That's what they want you to do. There are two parties which will wield power in some fashion. Getting rid of the "conservative activists" in the GOP is preferable to kowtowing to our demands.
Be patient. We're winning. You see your enemy getting desperate when he knows he's on the ropes. That's the GOPe right now with this amnesty vote.
G.O.P. = (We) GAVE OBAMA POWER
over and over and over.
The GOP EXEMPT belong in the same prison as the
the DNC for violating the US Constitution and their Oaths.
BOEHNER SNATCHES DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY !
DEMOCRATS WIN !
Last I read, Doormat Republican Boehner was “Hellbent” on ramming through the House Obama’s Amnestry Bill for Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico.
Doormat Boehner knows that Obama can’t get this done without Boehner’s help, as the already passed Democrat Senate Amnesty Bill for Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico will die this Session of Congress unless Boehner comes to the rescue of Democrat Feudal Lord Reid, and Democrat Tyrant Obama.
Boehner also knows that unless Obama’s Opinion Poll ratings go up, Republicans will win in a Landslide, but Boehner will have the unwanted problem of a new class of Patriotic Freshmen House members that are from the dreaded TEA Party.
Hence, Boehner must do all he can to not allow the Democrats to lose by the predicted Landslide margin of defeat in the Mid Term Election of 2014.
Obama knows that the only on-paper accomplishment for him is his convincingly failed Obamacare Socialized Health Insurance Tax, commonly known as OSHIT.
Obama needs the House to pass an Amnesty Bill to demonstrate that he is worthy of a higher poll rating.
Thus, passage of a House Amnesty Bill for the Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico, and their offspring, will help both Boehner and Obama continue on their mutually beneficial, joint venture of “Fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”
In the four years that Doormat Boehner has protected Obama from all of the many violations of the US Constitution, the many, Many, MANY Derelictions of Duty and scandals, there has never been as loyal a permissive Speaker to a corrupt Administration than permissive, Doormat Boehner has been to the entire corrupt, tyrannical Obama Administration.
History will not be kind to Doormat Republican Boehner or his supporters in the House Republican Leadership including Cantor, McCarthy, and Ryan.
Always one to boast with a TV speech on how “sad” he is at the illegality of the rogue Obama Administration and Democrat Reid Senate, Doormat Boehner has always shied away from during the honorable thing by choosing to never enforce the US House Laws of the United States of America.
The limit to Doormat Boehner’s tolerance for obvious Federal corruption has yet to be reached.
Speaker (?) Johnny Boehner has become the Poster Boy for everything that is rotten in the once formerly GREAT Republican Party.
Using the old “Birds of a Feather” indicator, it is small wonder then that the Republican National Committee and their donors so enthusiastically approve of the “Doormat to Democrats” tactics of Mr. Doormat himself, House Speaker Johnny “The Sobber” Boehner!
Doormat Boehner knows that Obama will reward him for the loyal protection that Boehner has constantly provided for Obama for over four very long years.
Money is NOT something needed by Multimillionaire Boehner, but perhaps Boehner would accept an Obama appointment to be the United States Ambassador to Libya?
Why don’t these djaka$$es learn from the Rats, and postpone the vote until after the election but with much upfront hype before the election, about amnesty.
It is time for the Tea Party to stand forward.
Now.
The GOP is corrupt and sold out. Completely.
November 6th, 2012, at about midnight, I said, “If we want to save this country, we need to get rid of John Boehner.” I was wrong. I should have said Peacefully save this country. Because of the worthless, complicit Republicans, the opportunity to peacefully save America is gone. Barring, of course, spiritual revival from God.
