That month, Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM) filed paperwork with the House Clerk to bypass the committee process and the majority leadership and bring the legislation straight to the House floor. As of Tuesday, every Democrat and Reps. Mike Coffman (R-CO) and Mark Amodei (R-NV) had signed it, providing 195 of the necessary 217 signatures (Rep. Conyers (D-MI) also signed, but he retired Tuesday morning).

To get the bill to the floor, just 22 more Republicans would have to sign the petition. The bill could then be debated, potentially amended, and passed.

Four House Republicans are co-sponsors of the bill but have not yet added their names to the discharge petition. They are Reps. Joe Barton (R-TX), Jeff Denham (R-CA), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), and David Valadao (R-CA).

And 27 more signed onto the letter, calling for a “permanent legislative solution for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients before the end of the year,” noting that these “young people brought to America through no fault of their own” are “contributing members of our communities and our economy.”

They include Reps. Dan Newhouse (R-CA), Mimi Walters (R-CA), Carlos Curbelo (R-FL), Mike Simpson (R-ID), Rodney Davis (R-IL), Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), Susan Brooks (R-IN), Bruce Poliquin (R-ME), Fred Upton (R-MI), Chris Smith (R-NJ), Frank LoBiondo (R-NJ), Leonard Lance (R-NJ), Tom MacArthur (R-NJ), Elise Stefanik (R-NY), John Faso (R-NY), John Katko (R-NY), Peter King (R-NY), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Charlie Dent (R-PA), GT Thompson (R-PA), Pat Meehan (R-PA), Ryan Costello (R-PA), Will Hurd (R-TX), Mia Love (R-UT), Chris Stewart (R-UT), Scott Taylor (R-VA), and Dave Reichert (R-WA)

One Congressman who signed the letter, Rep. Scott Taylor (R-VA) has indicated that he does not back the Dream Act as written, but would like to see some sort of DACA fix this year.

Congress woman McSally of AZ was a co-sponsor but just took her name off so she could hide her lack of principles.

As a Tucson congress woman she had to be for it she says, but now wanting Flakes place in the Senate and hoping to defeat principled conservative Dr. Kelli Ward, McSally has to be a flipper.

McCain do-over.

Vote Ward.

At least two of the RINOs who signed the petition to pass amnesty are retiring. Sleaze.

Assuming most DACA recipients are Mexican and Mexican citizens and with fact that both Mexico and America are harmed by the policies of both governments, how about trying win win for a change.

Why not offer them student visas and scholarships if they and family register volunteer to go home. Then, after education here the DACAs can go home, make Mexico Great Again, and exercise their right to flourish in their own culture within their extended family.

And extend program to those from other countries.

It’s pretty simple stuff Ryan. Just build the wall and start checking ID’s.

If Ryan can’t manage 18 people, he doesn’t deserve to be Speaker or for that matter, in Gov.
You try this in the private sector and you would be handed walking papers the next day.
