In an interview with John Dickerson on CBS's "Face the Nation," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, discussed why the House of Representatives did not act on immigration reform.

During anchor John Dickerson asked the House speaker about President Obama's immigration plan. According to Boehner, he has been trying to do immigration reform for four years.

"But [President Barack Obama] said 22 times that he didn't have the authority to do what he eventually did. Now what the president has done is that he's poisoned the well," added Boehner. "He's stirred up the American people in such a way that it would almost be impossible to do immigration reform given the environment that we're dealing with."

Boehner claimed he wants immigration reform and provided Obama with ideas on how to tackle the issue. The House speaker said Obama did not take his advice and "doubled down" on the executive actions that, "frankly, far exceeded his authority, and the courts have got him stopped."  

Boehner also gave his thoughts on a possible Iran nuclear deal, stating, "No deal is better than a bad deal, and from everything that's leaked from these negotiations, the administration's backed away from almost all of the guidelines that they set up for themselves."

If no agreement is made, Boehner was content with the current sanctions staying in place. Boehner said he hopes the Iranian government changes their behavior and abandon its efforts for a nuclear weapon.

Boehner also gave his take on the U.S. Department of State's handling of the Benghazi Investigation and blamed former Secretary of State Hilliary Clinton for hiding email regarding the situation. The congressman said House committees have asked for Clinton's emails since 2012 and the requests have been held off for more than three years.  

"The emails need to come forward...We still don't have the answers because the administration and Secretary Clinton refuse to turn over the relevant documents for the American people to see. We are not going to walk away from this. And, the State Department's rolling these emails that they do have over to us at a rate of about 4,000 a month, this is going to go on throughout the rest of this year."
