Boehner Admits Immigration Comments Went Too Far

House Speaker John Boehner sort of apologized Tuesday for last week mocking his GOP colleagues’ unwillingness to vote on hard issues like immigration.

"Our members know me, all right? And, but you know, sometimes I can rip people just a little too much, sometimes,” he said. “This wouldn't be the first time.”

Boehner said there’s no secret conspiracy to pass a bill, but if Obama works with Congress on other issues, there is the potential for some sort of immigration accord.

Meanwhile, Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York told the New York Daily News there would be an immigration bill on President Obama’s desk by June or July.

Schumer said it likely would not be the bipartisan comprehensive plan passed in 2013 by the Senate – but predicting any kind of a reform bill was bold.

It is hard to see how anybody can craft a bill in the next few months that would satisfy Democrats – who insist there should be a pathway to citizenship for otherwise law-abiding undocumented immigrants – as well as Republicans, who insist the opposite.
