I think Boehner has got it all figured out. During the election period he shows support for an immigration reform because most voters in the US are interested in having a reform pushed out. But after elections he needs money and he knows that pushing a reform is too hard so he will pander to anti-immigrants who will happily open their wallets in order to fight the reform throughout the year. Boehner is not interested in either side; Boehner is only interested in winning elections and easy money.
