NYT: Boehner Optimistic About Immigration Bill

July 19, 2013

The New York Times reports that Speaker John Boehner is using closed-door meetings to push House Republicans on Immigration Reform. His public remarks are also encouraging:

“I think it’s going pretty well,” Mr. Boehner told reporters on Thursday. “We had a great conversation last week. The more this issue is around, the more action there is in committee, the more information there is for the members to put their hands on. And, frankly, the American people are engaged in this issue as well.”

He added: “You know, it’s not just organizations that are up here lobbying for immigration reform. You got a lot of individuals, a lot of constituents, who have opinions on this, and all this serves to help educate our members.”
