GOP Backing Off Immigration Reform [VIDEO]
Prospects for a major immigration overhaul are bleak, after new concerns from the House Speaker.
FOX News Radio’s Jared Halpern has the story from Capitol Hill:
House Speaker John Boehner says within his party, there’s widespread doubt President Obama can be trusted to enforce immigration laws:
Boehner: “He keeps talking about his phone and his pen– and he’s feeding more distrust about whether he’s committed to the rule of law.”
Boehner says the President has changed the healthcare law without any Congressional action, but Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer– a key architect of a bipartisan immigration plan,thinks there’s something else at play:
Schumer: “He’s in a very difficult position.”
House GOP leadership included a path to legal status as part of immigration priorities– something many Conservative groups grumbled is no different than amnesty.
