Speaker Boehner had this to say about immigration reform yesterday during an interview with the Hugh Hewitt radio show:

…you know, there's a possibility that Congress could take this issue up next year.

Mr. Speaker, you've even mocked your own colleagues – only to walk it back.  As the Huffington Post reported, Speaker Boehner has issued lame promises "before, only to push back the timeline again and again"  [9/3/14].  It's time to get serious, Mr. Boehner.
