Meadows said he anticipates Republicans to labor along two different parallel tracks next month to further explore whether 218 votes is possible on an immigration bill: one on a larger measure including a DACA resolution alongside border security provisions, and another more targeted bill that Meadows says “would be maybe a little bit on border security and family reunification.”

“I think most conservatives believe if you can take Goodlatte 1 and move it more to the center that there’s a great chance of getting 218 just based on vote total,” Meadows, R-N.C., said. “Obviously it’s eluded 218 twice, and so I’m not suggesting that it’s an easy path. I’m just saying that there are discussions going on.”
