“I think the conversation’s pretty straightforward,” Mr. Boehner said on ABC’s “This Week.” “Mr. President, you’ve got two years left. Want to have two years like we’ve had the last four years where we just butt heads and butt heads and butt heads?’”
He added, “I didn’t come to Washington to make noise. I went there to do something on behalf of my country. And I think the president ran for office to do something on behalf of the country. And it’s up to us to see where the common ground is. But tax reform, a big highway bill, certainly are in the realm of doable.”
Mr. Boehner acknowledged that he had hoped to have an immigration bill passed by now, but that “we had a flood of children coming across the border, once again proving that no good immigration bill can pass until we have real border security.”
