Republican leaders in the U.S. House made clear there is one thing they intend to do with the comprehensive immigration reform passed with great pageantry by the Senate Thursday: Ignore it.
"The House is not going to take up and vote on whatever the Senate passes," Republican House Speaker John Boehner reiterated just hours before the Senate approved its bill by a 68-32 margin. That insistence has left backers of the delicately negotiated comprehensive solution eyeing a political needle to thread in order to advance the legislation.
Senate negotiators sought to run up the margin of the vote, hoping that overwhelmingly majority support would put political pressure on House leaders to move on the measure. So far there is no sign that strategy has worked, leaving efforts to fix an immigration system all sides admit is broken in legislative limbo.
