WASHINGTON (AP) — Advocates for immigrants living in the U.S. illegally are mounting a final push to persuade the House to pass immigration legislation this summer, seeing one last window to act that will soon slam shut for good.

If they don't succeed by August, most say any chance of legislation will be over for the year, and all eyes will be on President Barack Obama to see if he acts on his own to curb deportations and accommodate some of the 11.5 million people here illegally.

-SNIP-

Boehner has shown little appetite for standing down this faction, instead swiftly retreating after he made comments last week mocking House Republicans for being reluctant to act on immigration because it was too hard.

-SNIP-

Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, a leading conservative voice on immigration, said "there would be a civil war" if Boehner tried to move immigration. A House leadership aide said there were no plans for floor action this summer.

To much pressure for Boehner to handle, this battle demands a warrior, not a coward who can only cry in his booze.

I’ve only got one thing to say to those who support legislation to allow illegals to stay here-no, no se puede-no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO...

Boehner isn’t buckling under pressure, because he’s a willing accomplice to
the whole scheme, along with the rest of the GOP-e ilk. Pesos spend just as well for republicans as they do with democrats, and the oligarchs down in mexico city have the best US politicians pesos can buy.

I agree, the bought off 5th columnists in the Republican congressional caucus (e.g., Boehner, Cantor, McConnell, Little Lindsey Graham) are salivating at the thought of slipping this in somewhere and going to reconciliation with the DimocRAT Senate.

"Boehner isn’t buckling under pressure, because he’s a willing accomplice to the whole scheme,…"

Boehner: “The Chamber of Commerce, Facebook, Microsoft, and Soros are warning me to pass amnesty or else. But these stupid conservatives are trying to block it. Ohhhh. Don’t make me do this. Ohhhh. This is too hard.”

My guess it will quietly come back during the Nov-Dec lame duck session after the election. The open borders lobbies will insist on getting what they've paid for.
