Boehner: No immigration bill without GOP majority support - Page 2

Not yet at the moment, but hanging onto hope, some analysts seem to believe that the speaker's actions might actually be positive for the legislation movement, look at this passage from the National Journal's e-mail newsletter,

"Boehner Talks Tough on Immigration, Leaves Wiggle Room

House Speaker John Boehner went out of his way today to make it clear that he won't pass an immigration reform bill that doesn't have the majority of his caucus behind it.

"I don't see any way of bringing an immigration bill to the floor that doesn't have a majority support of Republicans," the speaker said.

*While that may sound like tough talk, it leaves Boehner a ton of room to maneuver. With conservative Republicans split on the issue, the speaker could put an immigration reform bill on the floor with support from the majority of his caucus, while banking on some Democratic support to pass it. Insiders figure Boehner needs as few as 100 to 120 Republican lawmakers -- far short of the 218 needed -- to pass a bill.

But Boehner is still waiting to see what the Senate does before making any bold moves. In a closed-door meeting of House Republicans today, Boehner denied immigration reform opponent Rep. Steve King's request to talk in detail about reform, saying he plans to wait until a special July 10 meeting to delve into the subject."

I don't see what the problem is.

Whatever it takes says DA User

Do you any issues in this thread? I don't.

any kind of bill should have a age gap of below 18 this way it has a better chance at passing the house.

Whatever it takes to pass, right?

31 age cap, whatever it takes.

I just hope DA User actually comprehends what whatever it takes really mean in his posts
