With Republican obstruction, what are the odds the immigration bill passes?

I don't see this bill having any chance of passing in the House. This would be one of the Obama administration's greatest achievements. And that is something Republicans simply cannot allow. I don't know, maybe I'm being too cynical.

1. Not too cynical at all,

'this' bill will probably not pass, or even be entertained, in the House. They MAY pass their own bill, and then try to massage the 2 into one in committee.

2. I don't see what is so great about this bill.

The H1-B visas to undermine American wages and workers. The ludicrous and wholly unnecessary border expenditures that throw a ton of money down the MIC rabbit hole. The penalties and nearly two decade path to citizenship.

What is there to like about this?
What are the good points?
In what way does this help the country?

3. a snowball's chance in hell....

the teaparty republicans will kill it just like the farm bill.

4. a smart democratic party would ride defeat of this bill to electoral victory....if there was one lol
