Representative Joe Barton, a Texas Republican, said last week that he’ll introduce a bill by June that would give undocumented children a path to citizenship and make legalization possible for adults who hadn’t committed other crimes.
Also last week, a trio of House Republicans from Illinois - - Adam Kinzinger, Aaron Schock and John Shimkus -- expressed support for some form of legal status for undocumented immigrants in the U.S.
House Republican Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers told a newspaper in her home state of Washington that legislation was possible in the coming months.

‘By August’
“I believe there is a path that we get a bill on the floor by August,” she said, according to a Spokane Spokesman-Review story on April 25.

Today, Republican Representatives Mario Diaz-Balart and Mick Mulvaney will join Partnership for a New American Economy at an event in Washington to unveil a TV ad urging Americans to call lawmakers and tell them to ease immigration laws.
The New York-based group, an association of majors and business leaders, was founded by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg News parent Bloomberg LP.

Asked yesterday whether there would be a vote on immigration legislation, Boehner said, “We’re going to continue to work with our members and have discussions and to see if there’s a way forward.”

Boehner said he went too far in teasing Republicans at the April 24 event in Ohio, saying his comments were “misunderstood.” He discussed the moment yesterday at a private Republican meeting where he blamed President Barack Obama for the impasse on immigration policy.

“I wanted to make sure that members understood that the biggest impediment we have to immigration reform is that the American people don’t trust the president to enforce or implement the law that we may or may not pass,” he said.
