Cornyn on if exec order can stand muster in court: I view it as an emergency measure that does that I think everybody said what they wanted it to do that is keep families together. I worry though that we’re also going to need to do legislation.“

·After the Hse finishes the farm bill, the Hse again turns to immigration. Up in the queue then is the "moderate" bill crafted by the GOP ldrshp. That immigration bill provides $25b in direct funding for the wall. Has a better chance to pass than 1st farm bill. Vote in late pm

A vote on the 1st immigration bill comes soon. This is the conservative bill. Is likely to fail. Hse ldrs wedged in debate a revote on the farm bill IN BETWEEN the immigration bills. that buys ldrs time to pitch wavering GOPers to vote for compromise bill
