Updated 9:15 a.m. | Speaker John A. Boehner says its still time to do an immigration overhaul, and believes absolutely he can convince the GOP to do it.

I said the day after the 2012 election it was time to do immigration reform. I meant it then and I mean it today, the Ohio Republican saidon ABC News This Week.

When exactly he might schedule a vote isnt clear. Boehner said the nation first needs border security. He pointed to the child migrant crisis as preventing passage of an immigration bill earlier this year.

We had a flood of children coming across the border once again proving that no good immigration bill can pass until we have real border security, he told George Stephanopoulos.

And you think you can bring your party along on that?

Absolutely, Boehner answered.

Boehner, of course, has expressed confidence on immigration at various points over the last two years, but the only measures that have come to the floor would roll back President Barack Obamas executive actions granting deportation relief to young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as minors.
