No Money for Boehner in Immigration Reform?



Think about this:
On June 27, 2013, the Senate passed a bi-partisan immigration bill and sent it to the House. Despite evidence that it would pass, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has refused--for 523 days--to allow the House to vote on the bill.

In 2009 and 2010, Speaker Boehner purchased stock in Chevron, Devon and ConocoPhillips, three of the main companies currently working in Canada's oil/tar sands.  Prior to 2008, Mr. Boehner had zero investments in these companies.

In 2011, Mr. Boehner and the GOP began really pushing the Keystone XL pipeline.  Despite environmentalists objections, despite objections from the states that would be impacted by the pipeline, despite objections from Democrats, Mr. Boehner never hesitated to allow the House to vote on Keystone, the completion of which is sure to provide a financial bonanza for stockholders like the Speaker John Boehner.
