Bob Corker is a "no" on the bipartisan immigration compromise, his office says. (He supported the big immigration compromise that passed the Senate in 2013, so not a good sign.)

GOP TN Sen Alexander on immigration plan: I doubt any one can get 60 Votes today particularly if we do the president’s plan last. I want a result. I prefer the president’s plan if that can pass.

Grassley on if the Senate can ok something on immigration: I’m hoping with all the lack of unity on the Democrats side that gives me hope that we will get it passed
Tbh I hope enough spineless Dems vote for this plan to get it passed in the senate.

Just spoke with a senior administration official who denounced the bipartisan Senate "common sense caucus" immigration bill. Said WH already in touch with individual Senators and House leadership to oppose "giant amnesty." Said WH will do "everything in our power" to sink it.

Bob Corker is that girl (or guy) you hit up and say, "let's hang out this weekend" and they "yeah, let's make it happen," but when the day comes, they won't answer a text or phone call.

The guy talks like he wants something done on immigration (every time, without fail), but when the issue comes up, he's all about the NOs.

Pelosi says Ryan “doesn’t understand the fear” of the DACA recipients. “What are they waiting on?...What are you afraid of?”

Stfu Pelosi. You guys had an opportunity to secure protections for us , but you squandered that. I’m tired of the lip service.

Although I appreciate her 8 hour speech on dreamers, we certainly need more action and less talking.

It is not going to get through. Not to be pessimistic, but we should be realistic.

Grassley's bill does not get any support from the Democartic caucus to get to 60.

Collin's bill could be the solution, but it is being undermined by the administration. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/tru...st-best-chance

It is disappointing to see how the conversation shifted from "stopping and preventing illegal immigration" to "reducing legal immigration". You can not trade 1 thing for 3 things.

At first, he wanted his wall for Dreamers' legalization. The Collins bill does just that. Now he wants more and more... That is not negotiating in "good faith". And the Democrats know that and they won't go for it. Heck.. Even moderate Republicans won't support it.

Sorry for bursing the bubble... Nothing is happening today...
