\"SpeakerAt his weekly press conference, House Speaker John Boehner told reporters<\/a> \u201cThere\u2019s nobody more interested in fixing this problem<\/i> than I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

What problem might that be you ask? Why the problem of how the GOP establishment and special interests are going to force an amnesty on the American people of course.<\/p>\n

Boehner\u2019s comment came in response to a question by reporter Jorge Ramos asking him why he is \u201cblocking immigration reform\u201d in the House of Representatives. But instead of arguing against amnesty because it is bad public policy and bad for Americans, Boehner once again reiterated his support for amnesty and blamed his inability to \u201cfix the problem\u201d (i.e. not passing it) on President Obama.<\/p>\n

But why is refusing to put the needs of illegal aliens and special interests above those of the American people a problem that Boehner is looking for a solution to in the first place? Rather than worrying about the \u201cproblem\u201d of how he can deliver mass amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens and hand tens of thousands more guest workers to Big Business, Speaker Boehner should<\/i> be worried about the problem of unemployed Americans. Like the 20 million un-or-underemployed Americans, or the 1-in-2 recent college grads who cannot find a job.<\/p>\n

Now there\u2019s a problem worth fixing. If only there was someone up to the job\u2026
