Jeff Denham says Republicans have pulled off the improbable and reached a deal.
 

Moderate leader Jeff Denham says Republicans have pulled off the improbable and reached a tentative immigration deal. Per Denham

it includes:
- 8-year citizenship path for DREAMers

- This will apply to "a much larger number" than the 700,000 formally enrolled in the program...

- DREAMers can enroll in the military to get citizenship faster than 8 years.

- These Visa spots will not be new. Will come from "combining" other Visa programs (sounds like they'll take them from the diversity Visa program but this is not confirmed)...

- No e-verify, the controversial proposal to test that people are legal citizens before they can be employed. If true, this is a big concession from Freedom Caucus who want this badly. - Plus there's border security/wall funding of course.

The bizarre catch here is that Denham says this deal was offered by the Freedom Caucus and accepted by moderates. Freedom Caucus chair Mark Meadows told us there was no offer or deal. Soooooo...

"Basically everyone says they're waiting to see the proposal, whatever it is, written down. They have til Tuesday to get that done. Otherwise it's discharge petition time."

That’s just the life of an immigrant! Filled with broken promises and false hopes

The only way I see a bill becoming law is you pass something bipartisan through the House and change Trump’s mind to support it. From there, you can get it through the Senate. But it all comes down to getting Trump on board.

When you don't expect anything to happen you can't really feel disappointed.
