Amodei and a group of other Republicans working for immigration reform have met with House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to try to get him to at least bring some immigration legislation to the House floor this year to see how members vote.
The Nevada Republican is a co-sponsor of the Recognizing America’s Children Act, which was introduced by GOP Rep Carlos Curbelo of Florida. That bill would offer permanent legal status to undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children before Jan. 1, 2012 — known as DREAMers — and who are employed, going to school or serving in the military for up to a 10-year conditional period, and then they can apply for legal permanent status. That legislation was introduced by a group of moderate Republicans but has not been scheduled to come to the floor. Sen. Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, is working on a companion bill to introduce in the Senate, his spokesman Daniel Keylin told USA TODAY.

Trump continues to weigh how to handle the nearly 800,000 DREAMers who were given temporary protection from deportation in an executive order issued by then-president Barack Obama. Trump campaigned on a pledge to end the program but has also expressed sympathy for the DREAMers.


Amodei also said he may introduce legislation of his own later this fall, with ideas taken from a bipartisan group of House lawmakers who were negotiating an immigration package in 2013. That bill never moved because of disagreements between members, but Amodei sees a lot of potential and plans to meet with members from both sides when Congress returns next week. He’s already been in discussions with Democratic Rep. Pete Aguilar of California about the potential for bipartisan solutions.
But Amodei isn't the only Republican working on getting immigration legislation through.
Rep. Mike Coffman, a Republican from Colorado, said Thursday that he would use a special procedure to try to force a vote on a different bill that deals with DREAMers, called the Bridge Act. That bill has bipartisan support. It would provide three-year provisional protection for undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as young people, as long as they met a series of requirements.
Amodei is not a co-sponsor of the bill, and a memo from his office written for the Latino breakfast said the Bridge Act "would only codify an executive order and would kick the can do(wn) the road on what to do on the issue."

Going to be an interesting congressional session this fall.

Don't they have to introduce all the bills over again, if they don't get nothing done in 2017?

It's kinda incredible since trump won with an anti immigration campaign. But I guess that's what happens when less than half the electorate votes. Immigration reform for dreamers is very very popular right now.

current 115th congress cycle ends in Jan 2019.

they have 14 months to get this done. if not, then we have to wait after the midterm elections in nov 2018.

I'd say about 1/3 of the republican cosponsers for RACA are from districts that Hillary won. There are 23 districts Hillary won, where Republicans outperformed Trump.

Let's just hope the democrats band together and pass dream act even the 10 senators in states trump won. They might not have a party if they f this up.
