House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) sounded a pessimistic note on the prospects of Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) modified DREAM Act proposal making it into law this year.

The Speaker said Rubio, a rising GOP star, had briefed him on the details of his plan, but when he was asked about it on Thursday, Boehner gave no endorsement.

“Well, there’s always hope,” Boehner said in response to a question on whether the GOP House could pass an immigration bill not solely focused on border security.
“I found it of interest,” he said of Rubio’s proposal, “but the problem with this issue is that we’re operating in a very hostile political environment. And to deal with a very difficult issue like this … I think it would be difficult at best.”

Democrats have long pushed a bill known as the DREAM Act that would create a pathway to citizenship for certain students who were brought into the U.S. illegally as children. Rubio’s alternative would give those students legal status though non-immigrant visas, but not citizenship.

With Republicans looking to win back support from Hispanic voters and Rubio seen as a contender for the vice presidency, the issue could loom large come this fall. Boehner sought to shift the spotlight to President Obama, saying that despite numerous speeches over the last three years, he had not advanced his own immigration reform plan.

“Where’s the president’s immigration plan? Where does the president stand on this issue?” Boehner asked. “Instead of campaigning all the time, maybe he ought to come back to Washington and go to work.”

You need to stop with all of this wrong information.

You make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Guys, I realize the high level of excitement at the Rubio bill, but again unless the vast majority of house republicans agree to this bill which like the house speaker notes is unlikely it might be very well to not place excessive hopes on the Rubio legislation, and therefore the dream act.
