Don’t “poison the well” - as in “we can work with you on this if you don’t create ill will by cutting us out”
Republicans have got to ditch Boehner.
Boehner is trying to string the process out so that the clock runs out on this congress.
Remember there is a Senate bill that passed and has been sent to the house. ANY house bill on amnesty could be reconciled with that horrible Senate bill; the Senate bill goes away in the new congress.
