House Speaker John Boehner says his fellow House Republicans support his multi-pronged approach to stop President Obama’s immigration reforms while also avoiding a government shutdown, brushing aside complaints from some conservatives in his conference that he isn’t doing enough.

“We think this is the most practical way to fight the president’s action,” the Ohio Republican told reporters Thursday. “We listen to our members, and we listen to some members who are, frankly, griping the most. This was their idea of how to proceed.”
