Boehner: Immigration Reform Will Be "Difficult" Due to Lack of Trust in Obama 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In the Republican-controlled House, Speaker John Boehner has dampened
hopes for a long-awaited bill to overhaul the immigration system.
Boehner spoke at a news conference on Thursday.

Rep. John Boehner: "The president seems to change the healthcare law on
a whim whenever he likes. Now he's running around the country telling
everyone that he's going to keep acting on his own. Keeps talking about
his phone and his pen. And he's feeding more distrust about whether he's
committed to the rule of law. Listen, there's widespread doubt about
whether this administration can be trusted to enforce our laws, and it's
going to be difficult to move any immigration legislation until that
changes."
