Hardline immigration bill fails in the House
The Hill ^ | Juliegrace Brufke | Juliegrace Brufke

The House on Thursday rejected a hardline immigration bill — introduced by Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) — after leadership postponed a second vote on a compromise measure written with centrists.

The 193-231 vote came a day after President Trump signed an executive order ending the controversial practice of separating children from parents who cross the border illegally.

No Democrats voted in favor of Goodlatte's bill.

House leadership had expressed pessimism on the chances for either Goodlatte’s legislation or a second compromise bill written with centrists, both of which come as the growing crisis at the border dominated headlines.

The hardline measure faced sharp pushback from both Democrats and moderates, who took issue with a number of provisions including its cuts to legal immigration.

Both bills have the support of the administration, whose "zero tolerance" policy toward undocumented immigration has come under bipartisan fire over the separation of migrant families.

The vote effectively killed a discharge petition — introduced by Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) in April — that would have circumvented leadership and forced votes on four separate immigration proposals. The bill with the most votes over 218 would have then been sent to the upper chamber.

The discharge petition, backed by moderates Republicans and many Democrats, nearly had its required number of backers, forcing leadership's hand in bringing forth the Thursday votes.

The Goodlatte bill was the only one I considered supporting..The Ryan Bill is PURE GARBAGE..but of course the open border cheap labor express “moderate” Republicans, wouldn’t want to risk losing their gardeners and housekeepers

I wrote my congressman a couple of days ago. No wall before amnesty, no vote in November.

Larry Schweikart ‏ @LarrySchweikart Rasmussen 44% approve Trump's actions on immigration, up 6% since August. This is a WINNING issue for Trump as long as he sticks to his guns

Sadly I think your right .

Ryan will kill the midterms and leave Trump in a mess .

Trump could have stopped him but reversed him after killing it .

Its a big mess now .

IMO, in spite of his rope-a-dope comments about being “willing to sign” both bills, I think DT will veto any bill not Goodlatte’s or its equivalent...

There ARE plenty of votes in both houses of Congress for open borders...no borders even. Congress is well...and permanently...bought and owned by their money masters. Perhaps it is the fatal and final flaw in the American experiment, who knows?

True HARDLINERS would never support Barack Obama Memorial DACA-based amnesty bills.
