House Speaker John Boehner is sticking to his position: The House will not vote on the Senate-passed immigration bill.
“I’ve made it clear and I’ll make it clear again, the House does not intend to take up the Senate bill,” Boehner said Monday. “The House is going to do its own job in developing an immigration bill.”
He added, “It is time for Congress to act. But I believe the House has its job to do, and we will do our job.”

on which bills if you can be specific is the senate holding up a vote.
And you wonder why I want a new Constitution. I say, take Boehner at his word and let him do his job? Is he required to take up the Senate bill? No, Hell no. Is he required to go to conference with his bill? Yes, Hell yes.

i am not a fan of bills which are unconstitutional, but the republicans since taking the house have passed many jobs bills and sent them over to the senate, where harry has tabled them, and will not let them come to a vote on the senate floor.
Wonderful.:rolls
An immigration bill that beefs up the bejeesus out of border security, gives the money for it up front, and provides for a long, tough, but real pathway to citizenship, and it was passed by a bipartisan supermajority; BUT, that's not good enough???
Anyone got a good reason to vote for Republicans for Congress in 2014? This isn't one.
can you name one bill? one that the senate can at least modify, amend, and send back to the house for a another round of amendment adding?
the point is..... harry has tabled bills, he does not want them coming to the floor for a vote.
You want a new Constitution?
Not In My Back Yard
But now I'm curious. What exactly were you hoping the new Constitution would say?
You hit the nail on the thread we have going in the Constitution forum. I think we're taking a rest from it now. If a county to state to federal convention occurs, it will occur in your back yard whether you like it or not. It may be the only way to side-step a Gerry-mandered House.
maybe if the bills were not symbolic votes to repeal the affordable care act, cut unemployment benefits, or cut food stamps, then perhaps harry reid would have brought the bills up for debate.
The only reason for gerrymandering is to meet federal "fairness" requirements...

Did you miss thisThank God he is not moving on this We need border control, not amnesty.
But in other words if this immigration bill fails, there will be no immigration bill and it will be another major loss for Republicans... So go ahead i guess in your book you loose either way.It is yet another bill they failed to read before passing. It is political in nature and serves only to bolster the democrat voting numbers in years to come. Repubs voted for it thinking it will garnish hispanic votes. Fools, it will do just the opposite.
