The Senate passed a bipartisan immigration bill that dies in the House. Are you staying that both parties were going against the wishes of citizens? The House didn't put it on the floor, because there was no immediate political advantage for Boehner to do it.

This from some one who either does not know anything, or is restricted to what his party tells him to think.
Yes, no reason for Republicans to pass, but as so often happens with party hacks, they have short memories and only work with revisionist history.
"Immigration reform couldn’t pass into law when Republicans controlled the White House and Congress (in 2005-2006). It couldn’t pass when a Republican was in the White House and Democrats controlled Congress (in 2007-2008). It couldn’t pass when Democrats controlled both the executive and legislative branches (in 2009-2010). And now we officially know this after yesterday: It isn’t going to pass with a Democrat in the White House, Democrats in charge of the Senate, and Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives (2011-2014). Back in 2008 or 2012, Republicans COULD argue that President Obama didn’t make immigration reform a priority, or that he took steps to stymie reform in when he was a senator. (And 2010, in particular, the one REAL moment of the Obama first term when immigration was possible, it was Senate Democratic leaders who weren’t ready to give up the politics of the issue. And the White House didn’t fight.) "

PLEASE read this. The passing by the senate was yet another ploy to make Republicans look bad; something they have been snookered with since President Obama took office. (Read his reputation in Chicago..he knows how to play the game well).
Point is when you say that, you obviously have no clue. It is the political stuff that was being readied even before the Senate passed it.
