Boehner famously called a 2007 bipartisan immigration bill that offered a pathway to citizenship for the undocumented "a piece of shit." It's not clear whether he plans to stick by those words. After the election he said he thought he could find common ground with the White House on immigration reform, though he wouldn't say whether he'd support a pathway to citizenship.
