Republicans wrangle over DACA in tense private meeting

McCarthy trying to scare moderate GOP:

Quote:

Centrists and GOP leaders alike recognize the moderates likely will collect enough signatures eventually to force the issue.

Meanwhile somewhere in Chicagoland, DanielPL is freaking out

I know. He ain’t about the Chiraq life.

House members leading the immigration discharge petition charge met with leadership this evening in Speaker Paul Ryan’s office – one member in the room told @kasie it was a “positive dialogue.” @AlexNBCNews

I love how the GOP leadership is mad because their own members arent happy with how slow and ineffective they have been as legislators

Good for the moderates, its about their own survival, not pandering to the crazy right wingers

in what possible way would a deal that gives cuts to immigration across the board, gives the wall, ends the DV lottery, and reforms chain migration hurt the voting base?
people on the right are having wet dreams at the thought of getting all that just for legalizing 700k people that are already assimilated.

Because a deal for DACA that can be done doesn't include reforms to chain migration or legal immigration cuts across the board? Literally none of that would stand a chance in either chamber.

DACA for wall and potentially DV lottery. That's the only deal that has a chance.

the point i was getting at is that there's multiple ways this can be handled in the house where ultimately the right can get more of what they want. to not even want to touch the issue and their best attempt being goodlatte, which they STILL HAVEN'T changed like they said they would, is stupid.
the senate obviously, is different, but there's too much conflict between what moderates/RINO's/more right-ish republicans want, and what the voting base actually wants.
