It looks like immigration reform may be going nowhere fast. House Speaker John Boehner signaled last week that House Republicans would move forward on immigration reform. But yesterday, he said his caucus is unlikely to move forward until the president gains Republicans' trust.

"The president is asking us to move one of the biggest bills of his presidency, and yet he's shown very little willingness to work with us on the smallest of things," Boehner said in the news conference.

Jorge Ramos, host of "America with Jorge Ramos" on Fusion, as well as various news programs on Univision, joins Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson to discuss what's happening on the immigration front in Washington.
