Boehner May Back Immigration Reform

Speaker John Boehner “has signaled he may embrace a series of limited changes to the nation’s immigration laws in the coming months, giving advocates for change new hope that 2014 might be the year that a bitterly divided Congress reaches a political compromise to overhaul the sprawling system,” the New York Times reports.

“Although the legislation would fall far short of the demands being made by immigration activists, it could provide the beginnings of a deal.”
