GOP's DACA feud lands in Trump's lap

House Republicans are looking to President Donald Trump to help them pass a GOP solution for Dreamers. But even if he weighs in, it’s unclear that the bill will make it across the finish-line.

Conservatives have not committed to voting for the framework GOP leaders crafted after weeks of negotiation with moderate Republicans and the far-right. The final details of the bill are still being worked out, and conservatives in the past few days have sought to secure additional enforcement boosts in the legislation — provisions that worry moderates and GOP leaders.

That’s not the full story, however. While GOP leaders have worked closely with both factions, there is still no agreement between moderates and conservatives, and many senior Republicans say they’re not convinced this “compromise” will pass.

“Can [Trump] move 100 people because he says he likes it? The answer is no,” House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) said of Trump. “Can he move a dozen or so? Yes.”

Ryan’s office is expected to release the draft bill Wednesday. The proposal would allow more than one million Dreamers to eventually find a pathway to citizenship. The bill will also include $25 billion for Trump’s border wall with Mexico, and safeguards to ensure that if any money for the wall is rescinded in the future by Democrats, Dreamers’ pathway to the legal system would be shut off.

lmao damn, dont fuck with the wall i guess!

ryan slowly paving his way to the future presidency

That's still questionable. Anyone said Mueller ?

Draft bill to be released today.

Interesting.

been hearing rumors that miller's the one working with the further-right conservatives on negotiating this.
a lot of you are also ignoring the good sign that this bill hasn't been leaked to the fear-mongering press.

Curbelo and Denham stopped the discharge petition.

There is no committment to vote for the new GOP framework. Their goal is to prevent floor votes on the bills that do provide citizenship and status.

Cancelling the DV and family cards, only allow 50,000 slots per year.

At that rate, it will take 20 years for the affected population to earn permanent residency.

Hard to leak a bill that hasn't been agreed on yet.


If Miller's involves expect a Goodlatte lite version.

yeah.. we should tweet/call/email President Trump about this miscarriage of justice!!!

his twitter handle is @realDonaldTrump.

please save DACA and the immigrant communities!

I don't understand how they will cut enough visa spots on the legal side to create room for us. There's at least a couple million of us....even more when you include legal Dreamers.

We might end up having to wait years to gain legal status.
