Meanwhile, other Republicans have released a flurry of new legislation in recent days designed to placate the concerns of conservatives wary of a potential bipartisan deal.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Tex.) and Reps. Raúl R. Labrador (R-Idaho) and Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) on Wednesday unveiled a conservative plan that would grant dreamers an opportunity to apply for a legal residency that would be renewed every three years. Democrats and some Republicans reject such a plan.
The bill also would authorize construction of border walls and fencing; allow federal immigration and security agencies to hire at least 10,000 new agents; end the diversity lottery program; end the ability of new U.S. citizens to legally move family members into the United States; withhold federal funding from cities that refuse to help federal agencies enforce immigration laws; and intensify use of the E-Verify system to check an employee’s immigration status.
Privately, aides to GOP leaders say the bill would not be able to pass in the House.

Good thing Goodlatte’s bill is DOA.

Ah! you beat me to it. I was just going to bold that part that Goodlatte's bill is DOA.
