Boehner noncommittal on new Senate blueprint for immigration reform
House Speaker John A. Boehner gave a measured response to a new bipartisan framework for changes to the nation’s immigration laws, to be unveiled by a group of eight senators Monday afternoon.
A spokesman for Boehner (R-Ohio) said he “welcomes the work of leaders like Sen. Rubio on this issue, and is looking forward to learning more about the proposal in the coming days.”

When did the legislative branch start passing dealz and blueprints instead of budgets and bills?

He’ll cave. Then he’ll appear on Oprah and cry about how he shouldn’t have caved.

In my country that means “good to go.”

OK,
Last week before the Rip-on-us society meeting reported by The Hill.
“The leaders of both parties have been in secret meetings for 3 or 4 years on immigration reform and we have come to an agreement.”
John Boehner.
So, not so noncommittal when its about secret meetings.
Some think such meetings just may be unconstitutional and in fact treason by committee.
Are these fools telling U.S. no hearings, no public input, no town hall meetings, no amendments to the bills, just some party life members at secret meetings talking secrets.
Possible they are a Two Party Evil Money/Power Cult.

Legalizing 20 plus million new Democratic voters.
What could go wrong?

For any Republican Party operative who reads these blogs, understand this. I will NEVER vote for a Republican again, locally or nationally, if you pass an amnesty bill. And I don’t care if only 20-30 House Republicans plan to vote in favor of it(with the Dems making up the remaining votes needed). This bill never needs to come to the floor as long as Boehner is Speaker.

Obama hasn’t told him what to say yet.

On what he said to the Rip-on-U.S. society last week.
