House Speaker John Boehner Joins the Call to Avoid Executive Amnesty
Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) joined his fellow Republicans, Senators Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz, in warning President Obama against the use of executive action on the issue of immigration. In a press conference held on Thursday, Speaker Boehner said a unilateral action by the president would "poison the well and there will be no chance for immigration reform moving in this Congress".
Instead of executive action, Speaker Boehner indicated that he will push for a legislative solution in the House.
