: this is the second time that speaker boehner has slapped down steve king about these types of remarks. this is one of the big dangers of the republican party the longer this immigration debate goes on, and it looks like it's going to extend to september, october, november, maybe even the next year if the house doesn't move on any legislation. the longer this plays out, the more likely you'll have steve king make another type of comment like this, maybe someone else, which really hurts the republican party's brands with latinos. spanish language tv has been focused so much on what steve king has been saying the past few months and that doesn't help the republican party at all. >> set aside the republican party. speaker boehner now saying that king's comments make it more difficult to get reform on immigration. that goes beyond the party and into this conversation of can this move forward. >> reporter: well, yeah. it is a problem for boehner. he has had a very difficult problem with his rank and file republicans on some legislation, whether it goes back to the fiscal cliff, on the farm
