Boehner can't be trusted, so we'll see what games he's playing when a bill hits the floor.

What is this News” source that calls enforcing our laws “right wing?”

You’re correct, Boehner cannot be trusted. But at least lets see how this plays out and if he acts in favor of our conservative instincts then let’s give credit where credit is due and let our Tea Party reps know that they must keep Boehner’s feet to the fire on other issues too. The question is this though, if Boehner is going to get 13 Dems on board for a veto override it will take some horse trading with the Dems who are even willing to talk about a veto override vote on Keystone, Obamacare or Immigration. What are any of you going to accept as a compromise to get those Dem votes on any of these issues.

Personally, I think Boehner will not have to do too much horse trading for a veto override on Keystone, the Dems are being pressured by their own constituencies on that issue, it will still take a Republican gesture to get the votes but not much. On the issues of Obamacare and Immigration, I think we can only win on one and expect to get enough override votes - (on Immigration) - but it would take a lot of horse trading for that. I think it best that any vote on Obamacare be symbolic - (Boehner would never be able to get enough Dems to vote for a override on this) - but Obamacare is likely to get a death blow from the USSC and with the electorate with all the cancellations that are about to happen due to the employer mandate now in effect. We can probably get Keystone and Immigration passed even against a veto but will not be able to get all three.

This is another example of why the “far right” [stupid media interpretation] needs to up the rhetorical ante on this immigration game.

It needs to be suggested that Republicans and Democrats have been importing human slaves for their capitalistic agendas of privilege.

This is “anti human trafficking legislation”

The Left and Right engage in human trafficking because they seek to crush the wages of the middle class and deprive them of employment.

This is an independent middle class political initiative to stop human trafficking that tries to destroy economic opportunity for the middle class.

This would improve the prospects of Cruz and others advocating limits on “immigration.”

Even though 90 percent of the Republicans in the House voted to re-elect him speaker, John Boehner has decided to appease the 25 right-wing Republicans who voted for someone else.

I choose to look at it as siding with the voters who demanded an end to open borders and Obamacare, but Establishment mileage may vary.

What the hell? Why is a liberal democrat author allowed to publish such trash in the Examiner?

Boner always talks a good talk. In the end he will fold. And he may even bawl.

The article says: “This may hurt the GOP’s chances in the 2016 election.”

I’m sure they hope that’s the case. The truth is if they don’t stop it they’ll never win another election even if EVERY MODERATE and EVERY CONSERVATIVE in the country voted for them.

Boehner is setting up a series of show votes to get Conservatives off his back. He knows most bills coming out of the House will still be bottled up in the Senate via Dem filibuster and if they somehow overcome that hurdle they’ll be vetoed by Obama. Nothing will be accomplished and he knows it. Idiots like my Rep Mick Mulvaney (SC)bought this garbage hook, line, and sinker and re-elected this RINO Speaker again. Take a look at Mulvaney’s Facebook page, he got flamed.

The constitution calls for impeachment.

First of all, the correct term is “illegal immigrants”. Leaving off the “illegal” part is intellectually dishonest.

Secondly, I'll believe Boehner will battle illegal immigration when I see it.

Very simply: stopping funding would have ended Obama’s amnesty. Going this route won’t make it through a veto override, so is purposely ineffectual and only for show.

Boehner is a deceptive snake—as are the vast majority of GOP congressmen (who voted him in again).

Being an American Patriot and favoring US citizens is now the definition of far right.
