In response to a question Tuesday about whether immigration reform will get done this year, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) encouraged the efforts of lawmakers in both parties who are working on the issue.
But he did not get into details.
“I want to applaud my colleagues on both sides of the Capitol and in both parties who’ve worked together to try to solve one of the bigger issues that we’re dealing with in our country, and that’s the issue of immigration,” Boehner said at a press availability. “Both legal immigration and illegal immigration. And I want to applaud Senator Rubio for his efforts, and the bipartisan efforts here in the House. And what I want to do is to encourage both sides of the Capitol and both parties to continue talking to one another so we can resolve this issue in a bipartisan manner.”
