John Boehner Backs Eric Cantor Bill Offering Citizenship To Children Brought To U.S. Illegally

WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner says legislation offering citizenship to immigrants brought illegally to the U.S. as children is "about basic fairness."

The Ohio Republican says many House Republicans believe that the issue needs to be addressed. Majority Leader Eric Cantor is working on a bill dealing with immigrants brought as kids, and Boehner's endorsement suggests it's likely to see House action.

Boehner's comments at a news conference Wednesday come as the House GOP struggles for a way forward on immigration. Boehner has rejected taking up a comprehensive Senate-passed bill that offers citizenship to the 11 million immigrants already here illegally. Instead he has said the House will proceed with a step-by-step approach.

That could include bills on border security and workplace enforcement, as well as Cantor's legislation for kids.

Mark Levin wants John Boehner and the Republican Leadership Removed

Most of you know I’m no fan of John Boehner. It was an epic failure by the House Republicans when they voted him back in as Speaker this past January. The Republicans once again let an opportunity get away from them to turn this thing around and make a difference. Today I was listening to Sean Hannity on the radio and he was interviewing John Boehner. Nothing Boehner said inspired or gave me hope as a conservative. He is the poster child for the establishment and as long as he remains as Speaker of the House conservatism will suffer. Today Mark Levin commented on the interview and he didn’t mince words when it came to how he felt.

Last week when Boehner and the Republican leadership passed a continuing resolution that did not include the defunding of Obamacare and didn’t cut spending. That alone should tell you enough about where the Republican leadership really stands with both issues. And as long as the government can continue to live on continuing resolutions the defunding of Obamacare in the Ryan budget is nothing more than a bone being thrown to the base. They all know it’s not going anywhere. Budgets are a thing of the past. Heck we haven’t had a budget in four years and Obamacare has still been fully funded. I mean do they think we’re really that stupid? All their actions say yes.

The only way the conservative agenda will move forward again is when this Republican leadership has been replaced. These guys are nothing but “blue dog” Democrats calling themselves Republicans. It’s time for them to go.

Liberty forever, freedom for all!
