House GOP warns: We’re no rubber stamp for Senate DACA fix

Many conservatives are pushing a Republican bill, sponsored by House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), combining a DACA fix with a reduction in legal immigration and a long list of tough enforcement provisions favored by immigration hawks. Yet it’s unclear if the proposal has the Republican support to pass the House –– “We haven’t whipped the Goodlatte bill; we don’t know where we’re at,” Cole said –– and it would almost certainly fail in the face of Democratic opposition in the Senate.

“We’ve been working steadily, building support very rapidly,” Goodlatte told The Hill on Sunday. He declined to put a number on that support.

Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.), a moderate immigration reformer, said ultimately GOP leaders will be forced to bring a vote on a DACA fix, whether it meets the standards of the Hastert rule or not.

“I always love it around here. We’re all for the majority of the majority –– until we’re not,” Dent, clad in a Philadelphia Eagles jacket, told reporters.

“At some point there’s going to be a bipartisan Dream Act bill, or DACA bill, that’s gonna have to be voted on in the House –– with or without a majority of the majority.

“We’re just gonna have to deal with it.”

WH spox Hogan Gidley on Graham remarks about Stephen Miller: As long as Senator Graham chooses to support legislation that sides with people in this country illegally and unlawfully instead of our own American citizens, we are going nowhere. He’s been an outlier for years. - @chadpergram

Benefits for millions of illegal immigrants instead of paying Americans who put their lives at risk daily to protect ours? I don’t think so. Most Americans don't either. Fund the government and then negotiate. #endtheshutdown @DHSSecretary
