Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.) said Thursday that he won't pursue an effort to force a vote on his bill to extend work permits and deferred deportations for young undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.

Coffman said he made an agreement with Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to hold off on gathering support for his discharge petition for the bill, which would extend protections under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program for three years.

Coffman told The Hill that he spoke with Ryan on Thursday and agreed to hold off on his discharge petition as lawmakers begin to consider a long-term legislative fix for undocumented immigrant children.

They need to pick one bill and everyone needs to get behind it. Way too many bills out there.

The forced vote had very low chances to succeed. Probably better that it was dropped at this time.

This isn't a bad thing. The Bridge Act should come later when all else fails.

Maybe Paul Ryan is thinking BIG instead about bringing Dream Act to a vote???? I'm very very positive. I haven't seen the momentum this strong in the 17 years that I've been following this.

Stole the words out of my mouth brosef! Stole the words out of my mouth! I pray pray that Schumer and Pelosi PLEASE bring in and discuss Dream Act with McConnell and Ryan. Those 4 can pull this through for us man. I just know it.

Yet Coffman warned he would renew his push if lawmakers are unsuccessful in reaching a deal once the six-month phaseout period ends in March 2018.

“I said that I would pull back on that to see how [Ryan] would do. What he didn’t want is two efforts simultaneously that are going at the same time, his effort to try to get our bill to the floor, and my effort to try to push a discharge petition,” Coffman said in an interview just off the House floor.

“But if he couldn’t bring something to the floor, then I would push the discharge petition.”
