Boehner says he's 'hell-bent' on passing immigration legislation this year
Published April 19, 2014
The Wall Street Journal
House Speaker John Boehner and his Republican leadership team are telling donors and industry groups that they want to pass immigration legislation this year, despite the reluctance of other party members to tackle the divisive issue before the November elections.
Many lawmakers and activists have assumed the issue was off the table in an election year. But Boehner, R-Ohio, said at a recent Las Vegas fundraiser that he was "hell-bent on getting this done this year," two people in the room told The Wall Street Journal.
A Boehner spokesman didn't dispute the account but said no action is possible until President Obama proves himself a trustworthy partner to Republicans.
The news follows House Majority Leader Eric Cantor saying Wednesday after talking to Obama that the GOP-led chamber will not pass the immigration legislation passed this past summer by the Democrat-controlled Senate that includes a path to citizenship for millions of people living illegally in the United States. Critics of the plan say it is tantamount to amnesty.
In addition, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said during a recent trip to Silicon Valley that action in 2014 was "entirely possible," likely in the form of votes this summer on five to seven immigration bills, Carl Guardino, chief executive of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, who hosted his visit, told the newspaper.

They will no longer fear the employer, they will unionize
And once that happens there will be pressure on the government to relax border security and let in a new batch of illegals who will work off the books for less than minimum wage.
The hell-bent ones are the OH voters who consider this person essential to American liberty.
“Ohioans: If you still have an amnesty-favoring hell-bent Boehner for more than 6 months, consult psychiatric help for electile disorder...”

“Among the churchs plans are scheduled marches and telephone blitzes to the offices of 60 Catholic House Republicans, demanding immigration reform. Speaker of the House John Boehner, along with nearly 130 other members of the legislative body, are Catholic”
Social justice is here to stay America!!!!
He certainly isn’t sharing with folks what his plans are. He knows it’s not what people in his district want so it’s not ever mentioned. It’s all John’s for small business,veterans ,smaller government and he’s bringing Ohio values to Washington.To those of us who know what a sell out he truly is the barf bucket ain’t deep enough!
Remember, we have a representative government - You think the pols are stupid? Think of the thousands upon thousands (or millions as the case may be) of idiot voters that think these people reflect their values.
Take the idiot that thought Guam would tip over, for example. And then, realize how many stupid people think that guy makes a good and fitting representation.
The People get the government they elect.
