House immigration votes on verge of collapse amid GOP infighting


House Republican plans to vote on two GOP immigration bills and a farm bill appeared on the brink of collapsing Wednesday evening because of persistent disagreements among GOP lawmakers.

The majority whip, Steve Scalise, R-La., is pushing to delay consideration of the immigration bills because the whip team did not have enough time to twist arms in favor of one of the two bills, authored by Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., that is a compromise between moderate and conservative immigration reform

Lack of effective leadership at the top?? Probably.

It's going to take some fancy dancing to keep the white nationalists happy

I'm sure the GOP will come up with something.

They've only had forever to work on it - like healthcare

"Trump is the scum of the Earth and his followers, well, it does not bode well for their character either."

This was Hilary's attitude as well, and it's what got Trump elected in the first place.

When was the last time you had a good bowel movement? You are sounding like irritable bowl syndrome.

GOP House leadership abruptly postpones vote on immigration bill in embarrassing retreat

Republicans faced growing opposition to their bill despite last-minute lobbying from President Trump.

In the face of defeat, Republicans decided prior to an emergency closed-door meeting with rank and file members to postpone the vote until Friday, according to a House GOP aide.

The bill, a compromise between Republican moderates and conservatives, would have imposed limits on legal immigration, provided a pathway to citizenship to young undocumented immigrants and $25 billion for Trump's border wall.

The measure also would have kept migrant families together at the border, placing them in detention.

As usual the Republican president and the Republican Congress cannot decide what they want to do.

Blame the Democrats in 4,3,2...

Where is the Dem. bill to solve this? Trump has been asking for a bipartisan bill

House rejects hard-line immigration bill with deep cuts to legal immigration, only temporary protection for 'dreamers'


The bill failed in the Republican-led House as moderate GOP lawmakers sided with Democrats to scuttle the measure. Conservatives had pushed for months to get a vote on the legislation written by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.)

The defeat came as House Republican leaders abruptly postponed a high-stakes vote on a GOP compromise bill that was backed by leadership. That vote is expected on Friday.

The votes on immigration legislation came against the backdrop of President Trump bowing to pressure and reversing his policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the border.

How would I know. I'm Canadian and I live in paradise. This is a picture a friend took last night during a thunder storm.





Ya, eat your hearts out all you Trump supporters who live in hell.
