House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) "has said he is committed to advancing immigration legislation in this Congress but there is virtually no interest among GOP lawmakers to vote for the kind of sweeping bill that Democrats are seeking," USA Today reports.
Said Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID): "It's not going to happen this year. After the way the president acted over the last two or three weeks where he would refuse to talk to the speaker of the House... they're not going to get immigration reform. That's done."
Added Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS): "That would really melt down the conference."
So yes, the Punishers are exacting revenge. No immigration reform now, because that's the price The Punishers are making us pay because Obama made them look bad, rather than, you know, Republicans making themselves look like idiots.
Maybe America should stop voting for them, yes? Because eventually, the group Republican Punishers will decide to target will include you. And odds are between killing job bills, the economy, and shutting down the government, you've already been a victim.

Yeah, as though they were ever going to negotiate over this or any other issue not involving unilateral concessions by Democrats.
