Sen. Reid Says Boehner Will Negotiate on Immigration Reform
Despite what the speaker has said
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) predicted Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) will negotiate on comprehensive immigration reform next year, despite Boehner's declarations to the contrary.
The Democratic leader argued that Boehner has a new willingness to confront Tea Party groups and this, in turn, gives Reid confidence he will not have to break up the Senate immigration bill to negotiate a series of piecemeal reforms with the House.

Presumably, Reid wants Boehner to negotiate something MORE immigration restrictionist than what the RINO's would be offering.
