President to Pressure House GOP on Immigration Bill
Plan Includes Visits to Battleground States With Robust Latino Vote
President Barack Obama plans to mount a more visible effort to push through an immigration overhaul that is heading toward an uncertain fate in the Republican-controlled House, marking a risky shift from the largely hands-off approach he has employed to date.
Mr. Obama likely will travel in the coming months to some of the battleground states he won with the help of a robust Latino vote—possibly including Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado and Florida—to argue the economic case for passing the immigration overhaul. He will also try to convince reticent Republican lawmakers that the GOP’s viability as a national party with aspirations of winning back the White House is linked to the fate of the bill, White House officials said.
Some Republicans, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, have made a similar argument, citing the GOP’s need to listen to the growing Latino vote. But many GOP House members who are focused on their own re-election prospects may be unmoved by arguments about what’s needed to win back the White House in 2016. Their bigger concern may be potential primary challenges from the right, coupled with genuine misgivings about the legislation.
Mr. Obama’s strategy carries personal risks as well. Should he take on a partisan tone, he may antagonize House Republicans and scuttle a bill that is the centerpiece of his second-term agenda, feeding perceptions that he is a lame duck.
On immigration, Mr. Obama played a largely behind-the-scenes role as the bill worked its way through the Senate, with his aides providing technical assistance and giving quiet advice to lawmakers. With the action moving to the House, the White House is devising a new strategy to push the bill through a chamber that is more resistant to the prospect of a path to citizenship for the 11 million people living in the U.S. illegally.
House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) has said he won’t let a bill come to a vote unless it has the support of a majority of Republican members—a difficult standard to meet. He will meet with fellow Republican House members on July 10 to develop a “path forward” on immigration, an aide said.
As he travels to presidential swing states, Mr. Obama won’t attempt to pressure particular House members, but rather underscore the point that the GOP must improve its standing among Latino voters if it hopes to win presidential races down the road, White House officials said.
He will go to “areas that Republicans hope to do better in and need to do better in,” one White House official said.
Another of Mr. Obama’s imperatives is ensuring the momentum created by the Senate’s solid bipartisan vote doesn’t fade, White House officials said. To that end, the White House is enlisting business leaders in hopes of persuading House Republicans to back the bill. Last Tuesday, White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough met privately with the American Bankers Association, the National Retail Federation, the Financial Services Forum and other business trade groups, to discuss ways to advance the bill.
In his travels, Mr. Obama will need to calibrate his message so as not to drive off potential GOP votes. Republicans warn that Mr. Obama could damage the bill’s chances if he paints Republicans as heartless obstructionists determined to keep undocumented immigrants in legal limbo.
Rep. Peter King (R., N.Y.) said in an interview, “If he’s going to say that anyone who doesn’t favor this bill is bigoted or biased, it’s not going to get anywhere. It’s just going to build up resistance. You can legitimately say you shouldn’t be giving legal status to 11 million people who violated the law.”
The White House insisted the president won’t make the argument in such terms, but instead point to the economic benefits of giving citizenship to entrepreneurial immigrants, Obama aides said.
Mr. Obama is under pressure from his base not to worry excessively about Republican sensibilities. Democratic campaign operatives are eager to use the immigration issue as a cudgel against Republicans in the 2014 midterm elections if the bill fails.
Rep. Steve Israel (D., N.Y.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, released a memo last month singling out 23 House Republicans who might be amenable to arguments that the immigration bill should pass. In each district, Mr. Obama fared well in the 2012 election, capturing between 46% and 58% of the vote, the memo shows.
Should the immigration bill collapse in the House, “then we raise holy hell,” one national Democratic campaign official said.
Still, Democratic campaign officials recognize that traditional campaign tactics may not prove effective in this instance, given that so many Republicans are comfortably ensconced in safe seats.
In the end, the bill’s fate hinges on Mr. Boehner’s willingness to permit a vote on the bill even if it is clear a majority of House Republicans oppose passage, they said. Support from a minority of House Republicans and strong Democratic backing could provide enough votes to pass a bill, even though the GOP controls the chamber.
Sen. Richard Durbin (D., Ill.), a member of the bipartisan group of eight senators who pushed the immigration bill through the Senate, said he worries House members are sometimes too insulated from national issues. “But I think the national party understands the importance of this, and they can appeal to Republican members of the House,” he said.

Signal sent to the Nation. From “beforeitsnews:”
——–
Glenn Beck chose an intriguing way to raise the flag during the opening of his innovative Man in the Moon event on Saturday. Rather than taking the traditional route, two men dressed in soldiers’ garb who were suspended in the air upside down actually
“lowered” the American flag.

Speaker Boehner;
Hypocrisy is not a crime … but treason is. To engage in a discussion of AMNESTY for those who pass E-Verify while failing to discuss why Obama FAILS E-Verify with his self-published stolen SS # 042-68-4425 is the height of Hypocrisy … no it is TREASON.
Your shame must cut like a knife to your heart each day that you ‘speak’ under oath to uphold our Constitution that you pay homage and give legitimization to the non-natural born Illegal-Alien Muslim usurping the Office of President of the United States.
Do not, repeat, do not vote on any Amnesty bills – or your daily shame will be multiplied ten-fold.
Secure our borders FIRST, LAST, and ONLY! ATTRITION through ENFORCEMENT and the completion of an Israeli-style double ‘fence’ that is cheap, doable, and already mandated … is the answer. Please do not let yourself go down in flames on this one; your oath and your words should be your bond with the American people.
