GOP leaders promised House conservatives Thursday they’ll push more forcefully for a hardline immigration package that couples Dreamer protections with a host of tougher enforcement measures favored by immigration hawks.

Huddling Thursday night with leaders of the far-right Freedom Caucus, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) promised Reps. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) that he’d assemble a team “to work that bill harder,” according to a source familiar with the discussion.

GOP leaders also vowed to bring a vote on the Goodlatte bill by the end of February — “but only if we get 218 Rs by then,” said the inside source, referring to a majority of House Republicans.

Unless they are lying to the freedom Caucus, this CLEARLY shows gop leaders have no interest in the so called good faith bipartisan negotiations they talk about.
