Tea Party Leader Warns Boehner on Immigration

Rep. Raúl Labrador (R-ID) told Roll Call that Speaker John Boehner should lose his gavel if he pursues immigration this year.

Said Labrador: “I think it should cost him his speakership.”

He added: “There is a hunger in the conference for bold, visionary leaders, and this is not just conservatives — you talk to more middle-of-the-road members of the conference, they’re kind of frustrated with the direction of this leadership, and they’re looking for ways to change that.”
