Immigration bill faces uncertain future in House

WASHINGTON ai??i?? The immigration debate is shifting to the Republican-led House, where lawmakers have shown little appetite for the large-scale, comprehensive approach their Senate colleagues embraced last week.

In this April 18, 2013 file photo, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., center, and other members of immigration reform's bipartisan "Gang of Heat," appear at a Capitol Hill news conference in Washington.

Presidential ambitions alone will see to that, as Rubio, for one, attempts a political straddle while other potential GOP presidential candidates firmly oppose the measure. Rubio, who helped negotiate the bipartisan bill, has recently called for changes as he tries to keep faith with tea party supporters and other conservatives who will vote in the 2016 primaries and caucuses.
