Now, now -- don't forget what Boehner said when he refused to bring the egregious Senate amnesty and legalization American-citizen-injustice bill before the House: that the House will look at the matter and create their own bill .. one that likely will have tough border security and no amnesty and legalization for illegals, complete with a strategy for getting the 20 million criminals out of America cheaply.And when we dont pass this bill pretty much they will remain here. Pretty much a loose loose for Republicans.

Let's see now, we do not enforce the current immigraiton law, as written, yet the new dreamy/amnesty version will be accompanied by "strict enforcement". Did we not hear this exact same BS in 1986? We ended up granting "special status" to about 3 million "undocumented" folks - but that was a generation and about 11 million illegal aliens ago.

Still does not change the fact that its a loose loose for republicans.

Ah, but, as usual, you're missing the point.*That will not pass...
I'd rather lose by doing nothing than lose by making things worse.
Ah, but, as usual, you're missing the point.
The point of this thread is that the great majority of American citizens enthusiastically support Boehner's two acts listed in the OP.
So increasing border security to the (in the words of John McCain) "the most militarized border since the Berlin Wall" and establishing a very lengthy lengthy amnesty program is worse than doing nothing?
Yes, really.Really? :?:
Poll: 71 percent back immigration bill similar to Senate proposal - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room
"Voters broadly support an immigration reform proposal that includes a pathway to citizenship, increased border security, employer verification requirements and allowing more high-skilled and guest workers into the country, according to a new poll published Monday.
The FWD.us survey found that 71 percent of all voters, including 74 percent of conservative Republicans and 78 percent of liberal Democrats, supported a plan similar to the Gang of Eight proposal that will begin markup this week in the Senate. Some 68 percent of "swing voters" also say they back the proposal, which has been endorsed by President Obama."
Well .. I wouldn't go that far .. maybe .. .. ..
Regardless, The Speaker of the House has recently done two great things for American citizens:
1) Refused to bring the egregious Senate amnesty and legalization bill before the House, a bill that would have allowed 20 million illegals to keep their ill-gotten gains at the justice expense of millions of American citizens and the entire American citizenry in general, and ..
2) Implored the President to, in addition to giving businesses a year's delay in requiring them to provide health insurance for their employees, also give individual citizens a year's delay in having to pay a tax fine for being unable to allocate money to buy health insurance, health insurance that, under Obamacare, isn't going to provide individuals the greatest care in the world for the money.
Now, to some this may not seem all that much.
But to American citizens, to individual citizens, to those tired of being on the receiving end of D.C. politicians' injustice-based vote-pandering and ideological compulsions, this is pretty darn huge ..
.. Quite folksy, in fact, patriotic too ..
.. And, considering all the liberal fringes he's going to really piss off and who'll level their sights heavily on him as a result ..
.. Absolutely heroic .. ..
.. .. Perhaps.
If he keeps this type of loyal-to-American-citizens up .. well, in no time at all, people are going to start shouting "Boehner For President!" ..
.. And, rightly so.
In the 2012 House elections, more votes were cast for Dems than Repubs, yet Repubs still have a large majority. How is that possible? And where has the real architect been hiding, the reviled Cantor? Boehner allowed 25 TEApubs to cause a downgrade with the "218" rule.
District voting 101: Say a state has 3 districts each with 1 million voters, district 1 goes 1,000,000 to ZERO for a demorat, district 2 goes 600,000 to 400,000 for a republicant and district 3 goes 600,000 to 400,000 for a republicant. The demorats got 1,800,000 votes and the repubicants got only 1,200,000 votes but republicants have that state's House seats 2 to 1 over the demorats.
