    A blow-up on Friday over whether House Speaker John Boehner had made a “commitment” to the White House to pass immigration legislation this year only ended up confirming reform’s tenuous position as both sides denied any deal had been struck.

    Meanwhile, the fate of 11 million undocumented immigrants hang in the balance.

    Boehner has insisted publicly that House Republicans are getting closer to consensus on legislation that addresses these immigrants’ legal limbo. But one year after the Senate passed a bill that would have created a path to citizenship for millions of unauthorized immigrants, the House has so far failed to produce legislation that would allow even the most narrow classes of immigrants to remain in the United States permanently.
