What in John Boehner's past makes you think he'll do anything else but roll over and then cry about it afterwards?!
I really don't know what you expect him to do with one 1/2 of 1/3 of the government.
That being said, I think the GOP should offer a stand alone bill, that repeals the law that give Central American illegals different treatment than Mexican illegals.
Some of Obama's harshest critics have been not only Dems, but Hispanic Dems from border states.
This might interest you.LINK

But O’Rourke added that he has been surprised by the anger he has heard toward the immigrants from many of his El Paso constituents, who “feel like we can’t take care of everyone, and these children and their families are gaming the system.”

When the president made a fundraising swing through Texas without going to the scene of the crisis, Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Tex.) complained on MSNBC: “He can’t even go 242 miles to the Texas border? Border community leaders want to see him down there on the border. And I think the optics and the substance of it is that he should show up at the border.”
I'm no big fan of Bohener, but the "Gang of Eight" bill passed in the Senate has never made it to the floor of the House. That should tell you something.

The House controls the funding to all agencies. What more power does one need than the power of the purse?

Wasn't that piece of shite McCain part of the gang of eight? If so, the people of Arizona are just reaping what they've sown by re-electing that scumbag. You want to keep re-electing pieces of crap who will keep the pork flowing to your state....great, but realize you're the cause of the mess we're in.
Very important lesson for the dummies in Louisiana who want to re-elect landrieu under the same pretense.
