Will an angry Cantor allow the Senate Immigration Bill to hit the House floor?

He still has immense power as majority leader to set the House's agenda, is it a pipe-dream to think he might let the Senate bill hit the floor as a sort of revenge against the anti-immigration groups that deposed him?

He has always seemed more open than anyone in the GOP leadership to moving some sort of immigration legislation. I doubt he would even consider it as it would kill any chance he has for a comeback, but he could truly do the country a service and partially redeem his irresponsible behavior while in Congress.
