A top House Republican says in an upcoming interview that the chamber will take up immigration reform in 2013, insisting that “there’s still time” for a comprehensive rewrite despite the rapidly dwindling time left on this year’s calendar.

Washington Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, said during an interview with Univision’s “Al Punto” that top leaders are still discussing when to bring immigration bills to the House floor.

Speaker John Boehner “over the last few weeks has continued to talk about the importance of the House moving forward on immigration reform,” McMorris Rodgers said, according to a transcript provided by Univision. “I believe that we have a window here between now and the end of the year and that this is a priority.”

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, the House Republicans’ point man on immigration reform, has said the House needs to take up bills “the sooner the better” on the House floor. And House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul of Texas — whose panel has passed a border-security bill and is poised to take up a biometric exit system bill on Wednesday – has said he believes the House will take up immigration bills near the end of October.

Though Capitol Hill is now consumed with the ongoing battle over the government shutdown that began Oct. 1, McMorris Rodgers said her party was still committed to rewrite the nation’s immigration laws.

“We must pass immigration reform,” McMorris Rodgers, the fourth-ranking House Republican, said. “It’s a priority for Republicans, for Democrats. There’s a recognition that it’s important to America. It’s important to our economy. America has long been the land of immigrants.”

The Univision interview is scheduled to air Sunday.

You misspelled 'Tea Suckers'. It's spelled with an -F.

Kind of ironic that a guy named Bohner has no balls.

Sorry, I was reading another article and I mistook it for this one.

Well, right now there are no talks of discharge petitions in the House pertaining to immigration reform, only for a CR (Continuing Resolution) which would refund the federal government and get us out of the shutdown.

It is for CR not CIR. It would still build momentum.
