Fox is told that if Hse GOP COnf isn’t able to come to an immigration agreement, mbrs who are ready to sign the discharge petition will likely make a beeline from the meeting for the House chamber to sign the discharge petition tomorrow. "It will happen right now" said 1 mbr
If GOP Conf reaches consensus on immigration at mtg tomorrow, lawmakers considering signing the discharge petition will likely hold off. The GOP leadership will have to get the proposal presented by Ryan into legislative text over the next few days.
Time is of the essence on immigration. Discharge petition supporters face a deadline of June 11 to collect the relevant signatures. Lawmakers could then sign the discharge petition early next week if the the text of the legislation isn’t to their liking.
