San Antonio will be Ground Zero in the increasingly high stakes battle over immigration reform today, as House Speaker John Boehner arrives in the city to discuss the issue before a business and professional group at a downtown hotel, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Several groups plan to protest in front of the hotel to both encourage Boehner to approve immigration reform, or to urge the House to kill a reform bill already passed in the Senate.
"I will present an open letter to the Speaker to do the right thing for the 11 million hard working immigrants and get this done before Congress leaves for the summer," said long time immigration rights activist Jaime Martinez, who has called on President Obama to end all deportations by executive order.
Also protesting will be the Bexar County Young Tejano Democrats, the Brown Berets, and LULAC. They will be urging Boehner to put the Senate passed bill up for a vote within the next couple of months.
"At first, Speaker Boehner refused to bring S.744 to a House vote because he claimed the House was working on its own version of immigration reform legislation," group spokesman Carlos de Leon said. "Months later, following inaction on immigration reform legislation by the House, the Speaker's tone changed and he began blaming the lack of progress on President Obama. He claimed that the President has not enforced current laws and because of this, the House Republicans do not trust him to enforce the new immigration law."

Immigration Reform Front and Center in SA With Boehner Appearence
Thank you.
Immigration reform, a lot of people say -- it makes sense and is what we should be doing, but for whatever reason we can't get both sides to the table.
Realistically, can we get a bill through this year?
I do.
We did not take it on because it is easy.
Look, nothing is easy to do in washington these days.
But we have made more progress than we have in 30 years.
The bill last year in the senate , from speaker boehner and many members of the republican house caucus, they have said they want to get this done this year.
We want -- they want to get something done.

Why Immigration Reform Matters to Silicon Valley
The GOP shouldnt even field a presidential candidate in 2016 unless Congress passes immigration reform this year, U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue said Monday.
If the Republicans dont do it, they shouldnt bother to run a candidate in 2016, Donohue joked at an event on infrastructure investment in D.C. Think about that. Think about who the voters are. I just did that to get everybodys attention.
Republicans have focused on an immigration overhaul as a way to woo Hispanic voters, who have increasingly drifted to Democrats over the past two election cycles. Growing Hispanic populations in Nevada, Texas and elsewhere could make those states more amenable to Democrats in the future.

Donohue, whose group has spent months pushing House Republicans to support immigration legislation, was speaking about what he thought a dysfunctional Congress could still get done in 2014.
You think Congress can get immigration reform done this year, in an election year? moderator Eamon Javers asked Donohue.
Yes, yes, Donohue replied.
National Association of Manufacturers President Jay Timmons said he also thought immigration reform could pass this year, perhaps in a lame-duck session.

This is a unified position of the business community, Timmons said.
