Congress heads home without passing immigration bill - ABC News
Congress heads home without passing immigration bill - ABC News
June 28, 2018
John Parkinson
Despite debating immigration reform all month long, Congress is punting the issue to next month as lawmakers head home for barbeques, fireworks and parades over the Independence Day recess.
Even though lawmakers rejected two votes on competing Republican proposals this month, congressional leaders insist the effort to solve the country’s immigration problems is not over, particularly to produce a legislative solution to keep immigrant families together in line with the president’s executive order.
“On the family reunification issue, not only have there been discussions this week but there are continued discussions that happened today, will be happening over the next couple of days as we look at a legislative fix for that issue,” Rep. Mark Meadows, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus, told reporters at the Capitol Thursday afternoon. “Right now it’s critical that we act expeditiously to get something on the president’s desk.”
Meadows said he anticipates Republicans to labor along two different parallel tracks next month to further explore whether 218 votes is possible on an immigration bill: one on a larger measure including a DACA resolution alongside border security provisions, and another more targeted bill that Meadows says “would be maybe a little bit on border security and family reunification.”
“I think most conservatives believe if you can take Goodlatte 1 and move it more to the center that there’s a great chance of getting 218 just based on vote total,” Meadows, R-N.C., said. “Obviously it’s eluded 218 twice, and so I’m not suggesting that it’s an easy path. I’m just saying that there are discussions going on.”
Meadows said one area of immigration reform under fresh discussion is Temporary Protected Status for foreign-born individuals who are unable to return to their native countries due to safety concerns.
“That hasn’t been in the mix and so I think there’s some discussion on that particular issue,” Meadows said. “Obviously we’ve had conversations with some of my members about the things that get them to yes or remain yes, depending on which bill you’re looking at as a foundation and what degree of moving to the left they can handle without going from a yes to a no.”
After watching their bill get unceremoniously rejected, moderate Republicans who forced this month’s immigration debate called for a bipartisan process to solve the country’s immigration crisis, citing the realization that the GOP can’t send a bill to the president’s desk without Democrat support.
“Republicans cannot pass a 218 Republican bill, just as Democrats couldn't pass one in 2010,” Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., told ABC News on Wednesday. “It's important to recognize that it's going to take a bipartisan bill that both addresses border security as well as a permanent fix for Dreamers.”
The House returns to session on Tuesday, July 10.

It never ends. Bending over backwards to give amnesty. Now TPS for more people under consideration. More white flags needed.
The American people do not want any of this, so they reveal who they serve. No guesses necessary.Last edited by GeorgiaPeach; 06-28-2018 at 06:11 PM.

And shut up about them, stop talking about them, just do your gawd damn jobs to keep them out of here to begin with and kick the ones out who are already in. We don't want to hear about it, we don't want to see it, just do it. Sweep the whole trailer park, the whole neighborhood. Quickly and Quietly.

What a big waste of time. And even if it had passed the House everyone knew it wouldn't in the Senate. Guess they can tell their donors they tried.

I don't even understand why there needs to be an immigration bill. If someone is here illegally, he/she should be detained and deported. It's as simple as that.
And after they are in our system the first time, if they try it again, they should be thrown in prison......and their employers too.

We don't need more laws when we don't enforce the ones we already have. Enforce section 1324 of title 8 of the US code which makes it a federal felony to encourage illegals to live here. The officials in the sanctuary cities are all guilty.

We want no more talk from politicians, all we want is action keeping them out at the border and getting them out if they're already in. That is all Americans care about. This is THURSDAY NIGHT LIVE from JudyWorld, TrumpWorld and ALIPAC. Any Republican politicians who thinks any other world or org matters, then you are in for a big, rude awakening. Now shut your traps and get the job done, which again is very simple, keep 'em out, get 'em out.
