Boehner Promises No Immigration Plan Conspiracy

“In a closed-door meeting with the GOP conference on Tuesday, House Speaker John A. Boehner downplayed his mocking of fellow Republicans last week and said there is no “conspiracy” to spring an immigration overhaul later this summer,” Roll Call reports.

“Afterward, Boehner reiterated his support for an immigration overhaul, but he said it’s up to President Barack Obama to prove the administration will enforce immigration laws, a position echoed by other GOP lawmakers.”

Patricia Murphy: “Time is running out for the House Republicans to pass an immigration bill. If they don’t activists hope President Obama will act swiftly and decisively.”
