...people supporting Blunt are doing so hoping for consistency," said one senior leadership aide the morning before the vote. "They want someone who knows how to run a conference and who has experience in that role." The real agent for change in the race was Rep. John Shadegg of Arizona, who had stayed true to his roots as a member of the class of 1994, which swept Democrats out of power on a promise of (literally) cleaning house. Still, Shadegg was never a serious contender, too inexperienced in leadership to quell concerns about his election-year effectiveness. Blunt...
...Boehner's second-round win by a margin of 122-109 against front-runner and current Majority Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri for the party's number two spot amounted to storming the Bastille.

Now, with the business plan for his greenhouses in disarray, he says he plans to move to Phoenix, Ariz., and work as a facilitator for the coyotes, watching over the newcomers and arranging bus or plane tickets for them to their final destination. Pancho estimates he could clear close to $1,000 a week. Working...
...already overburdened immigration system, voluntary departure keeps the U.S. from having to pay for jailing or deporting low-risk illegal immigrants like Gabriel. He did fly back to Tuxpan at his own expense but stayed only a couple months before illegally crossing once again, this time through Arizona, to rejoin his family up north...
