WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner said
he expects an overhaul of immigration rules to become law by the end of the
year, but that the Senate's version "doesn't go far enough" to secure the U.
S. border with Mexico or enforce the proposed new system.
"I've got real concerns about the Senate bill, especially in the area of
border security and internal enforcement of the system. I'm concerned that
it doesn't go far enough," Boehner, the top Republican in Congress, told ABC
in an interview that aired on Tuesday.
Boehner added that reforming the nation's immigration system was his top
legislative priority this year.
"I think by the end of the year we could have a bill," he told ABC. Asked if
that bill would be one to also pass the Democrat-led Senate and be signed
into law by President Barack Obama, Boehner said: "No question."
Boehner did not answer a question on whether the House Republican version of
the legislation would support a path to citizenship for 11 million
undocumented immigrants already in the United States, a provision included
in the Senate bill which many Republicans criticize as providing amnesty.
The speaker's comments come as the Senate prepares to take its first floor
vote on the issue this week, with a final vote on the overall bill expected
by late June. The Senate bill also calls for billions of dollars in new
spending for enhanced border security and new visa programs for high- and
low-skilled workers.
Obama, a Democrat, will also try to drum up support for immigration reform
later on Tuesday in a speech expected to highlight the proposed law's
economic and national security benefits.
