Boehner Gets Serious About Immigration Reform

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) “is taking on a new and formidable immigration policy director, a sign that he could be more serious about passing immigration legislation than his critics suggest,” Roll Call reports.

Benjy Sarlin: “Becky Tallent, an immigration
policy wonk, is a well-known figure among immigration advocates, having
helped spearhead Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain’s efforts to pass
comprehensive immigration reform under President George W. Bush.”
