Wouldn’t surprise me if she was telling the truth.

President Barack Obama’s senior adviser on Thursday told a conference of investors and elite political donors in Las Vegas that the White House believes it can get Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform this summer.

Valerie Jarrett said she had dimmer hopes for free trade agreements with Europe and Asia, predicting those might have to wait until after the 2014 mid-term elections are over in November. […]

Jarrett, a long-time colleague and friend of Michelle and Barack Obama from their Chicago days, has the ear of the president and works mostly with the nation’s mayors and governors to accomplish his agenda.

On comprehensive immigration reform, the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate has passed a bill to provide a path to American citizenship for 11 million immigrants living in the country illegally.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has told the administration he would like to see immigration reform pass as well, Jarrett said, although plenty of GOP caucus members are against the Senate bill, particularly those aligned with the conservative Tea Party movement.

Jarrett believes Boehner will allow a comprehensive immigration reform bill, or a package of bills, to come up for a vote after the primary election to avoid spoiling some GOP candidates’ chances.

“I think we have a window this summer, between now and August, to get something done,” Jarrett said. “We have a commitment from Speaker Boehner, who’s very frustrated with his caucus.”
