This afternoon at Majority Leader John Boehner's "pen and pad" session with reporters he indicated he was still unwilling to commit to rejecting a guest worker immigration bill from the Senate.
I asked him, “Last week you said it was your job as Majority Leader to move the majority of the House. Does this mean if the Senate passes a guest worker bill that is unsupported by the House you will not move it?"
He didn't answer the question. He said, “When the Senate passes a bill, we’ll go to conference and then we’ll deal with it. Until then it’s a lot of ‘agh-ya-ya-ya.’”
One reporter jokingly interjected, “How do you spell that?”
But, Boehner continued, “Listen, they’ve got to pass a bill! So, when they get a bill, we go to conference and it’s a very difficult issue. Congress hasn’t done anything on immigration to speak of, in twenty years.”
