Lest there be any lingering doubt, House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) once again told his colleagues Wednesday morning at their weekly closed-door meeting that no matter what the Senate does on immigration reform, the House will act on its own.

“We’ll do our own bill, through regular order and it’ll be a bill that reflects the will of our majority and the people we represent,” Boehner said, according to GOP aides in the room.

During his comments at the weekly meeting of House Republicans, Boehner reminded his colleagues that he, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) had issued a joint statement in May that said “that the House is not going to just take up and vote on whatever the Senate passes,” the aides said.

Has Boner gone rogue? Why wouldn't he support the big hugely expensive fence ammendment to the Senate bill? Isn't that the deal? We can have immigration reform, but only with a vast militarized zone along our southern border?

Because she's a maverick, and that's just what this immigration issue needs! Maverickism.

4. I've always admired Hanna Barberra, for giving scooby the

ability to speak, without having him lose his essential 'dogness'

(i think i could write for NPR - LOL)

5. So, no immigration reform this year. Damn it. (nt)

7. bottom line - both parties want massive cheap labor increase

into an intractable unemployment environment

republican disdain, and democratic compassion, for the undocumented, is merely a wedge issue

which is pretty much the case in ALL of the professional wrestling between the parties, a single hidden agenda, with wedge issue windowdressing

how are the undocumented related to replacing tech workers with H-1bs? they're not, but one is used to increase the other

8. Anyone else

get the feeling that the republicans from the house would insist on doing their own appendectomies?
