Boehner to Insist on Republican Immigration-Bill Majority
This article is for subscribers only.
House Speaker John Boehner said he won’t bring an immigration bill to a vote unless it has the support of most Republicans in the chamber.
Boehner, an Ohio Republican, sought to quell any idea that he might rely on Democrats and a handful of Republicans to pass a rewrite of U.S. immigration law after a fellow Republican said that could cost the speaker his job. Boehner’s comments show it will be difficult for Congress to pass a comprehensive bill, particularly in the House.
