Many in Boehner's Caucus Reject his Call for Immigration Debate
According to media reports, many House Republicans rejected holding an immigration debate this year after the unveiling of Speaker Boehner's immigration proposal. Participants who attended the Republican retreat yesterday said that Members who opposed moving forward on immigration comprised 70-80 percent of the speakers. Leading Democrats, on the other hand, appear to view the Republican leaders' proposal as a starting point for debate.
