Boehner to House Republicans: We’ll Do an Immigration Bill That ‘Reflects the Will of Our Majority’
Jun. 26, 2013 6:15pm Madeleine Morgenstern
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told congressional Republicans again Wednesday morning that the House will vote on an immigration bill that reflects the will of the GOP.
“Weeks ago, I — along with Eric, Kevin, Cathy and Bob Goodlatte — issued a statement making clear that the House is not going to just take up and vote on whatever the Senate passes,” Boehner told lawmakers in a closed-door meeting, Roll Call reported. ”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 was referring to House Republican leadership members including Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) and House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.).
The speaker has faced public opposition from members of his caucus who have been sounding the alarm over a bill they say will amount to amnesty for illegal immigrants.
Boehner said last week he would not bring forward any immigration legislation that does not have majority Republican support, but didn’t rule out allowing a House-Senate compromise to come to the floor.
Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert, one of the Republicans leading the immigration bill opposition, told TheBlaze last week Boehner was “not promising not to bring a conference report that has amnesty — he’s not promising not to bring that to the floor.”

1 Hour Until The Final Senate Vote on Amnesty: Call Now!
Warning! We have just learned that a vote is scheduled on Senate Bill 744 in about one hour at 11:30am ET!
Most of the Senators have not read all of this bill and we are told it now contains secret language nobody has seen that was slipped into the bill yesterday via 'hand written amendment' not circulated to senate offices!
You can watch the final vote take place on C-Span online at...
http://www.c-span.org/Events/Debate-...10737440187-3/
You cannot count on the House to stop this bill! This bill will destroy the United States and render all of you voiceless in American politics. If the bill becomes law we will work hard to try to help you mitigate the damages and to get to locations that will be the last affected by the influx of tens of millions of 3rd world illegals, but it will be a very sad and permanent retreat!
Call now! Call again and again! Call their DC offices! Call their district offices until the vote takes place! Use the messages and target numbers at this link...
