GOP 'very close' on an immigration deal, says Kevin McCarthy

But moderate Republicans seem willing to accept a narrower deal that would create a new Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, in exchange for border funding.

McCarthy said he thinks leaders are "close" to reaching a deal that would settle on a single bill that most Republicans can support.

"We have been in the room, working together, conservatives, moderates and others, to be able to put an immigration plan together that protects our border, secures the border, end catch and release and deals with the DACA situation," he said.

"I think we are very close to having an agreement that I think could go onto the floor ... and put the Democrats in a place, see if they're really serious about getting anything," he added.

The devil is in the details, let us see this deal.

Fingers crossed they don’t come out with some bullshit bill.

Politicians must be terrible in the bedroom. They are always so close, but never finish.

If this comes out to be no path to citizenship for DACA recipients or mass reduction in family petition, this will get no Democratic support.

Moderates have always insisted on a path to citizenship.

Right, so they might be asking for massive reduction in family sponsorship and changing to point system. This would be an instant no for the Democrats.

I would be okay with a greencard and no citizenship.

I did hear McCarthy mention ending catch and release.
