What’s more, a new Fox News pollreveals that 65 percent of Americans – including an overwhelming 56 percent of Republicans – want immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship over “no Congressional action at all.” When will Mr. Boehner the House Republicans ever get serious about reforming the broken immigration system?
