Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said that the House will vote Thursday on legislation to keep immigrant families together amid an uproar over a Trump administration policy that has resulted in the separations of thousands of migrant children from their families.
Ryan confirmed Wednesday morning that the lower chamber is moving forward with votes on two immigration bills, telling reporters he doesn't think a narrow bill addressing family separations is the best path forward.
"The administration says it wants Congress to act, and we are. Tomorrow, the House will vote on legislation to keep families together," he said during a press conference.
"Under this bill, when people are being prosecuted for illegally crossing the border families will remain together under [Department of Homeland Security] custody throughout the length of their legal proceedings," referring to a compromise GOP bill.
While that measure and a conservative-backed bill from Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) face uphill battles on the floor, Ryan said leadership isn't currently focused any legislation that solely addresses family separations.
"We're trying to pass this legislation right now. This is a very good compromise legislation that not only solves the child separation issue at the border. It also solves the border. It solves DACA," he continued, referring to an Obama-era program that protected young immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally.
"So right now we're focused on this legislation that's coming to the floor tomorrow and then when other situations arise ... we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."

House will vote Thursday to abandon the rule of law and give our country to fraudulently documented foreigners.
Keep the families together, IN THEIR OWN DAMN COUNTRY!
This bill is guaranteed to have poison amnesty pills in it. 100% guaranteed. Congress thinks they have Trump by the short hairs right now and can force him to sign off on it. If he does, there goes his base, the midterms, and his re-election. If he doesn’t, he owns this and he’s Hitler that doesn’t want to reunite kids with their parents.
Its the K street Daca Amnesty bill .
Its the disaster bill .
They dropped thx other one .
The conservatives have caved !
Call the WH !
Call Congress
How about voting to Throw Ryan out Today
Arrest them all. Problem solved.
Will the kids get pillows, blankets and Teddy bears with an elephant and “RNC” embroidered on them?
Better idea: Gut the existing legislation which provides for a hearing process. Enable ice to simply turn the lot of them around and dump them back over the border.
Act in haste, lose your core voters.
*************
Ryan, the Wisconsin Weasel, doesn’t care. He’s leaving and isn’t chasing votes anymore.
Sounds like they are throwing kitchen sink at them. Solve border issue, DACA. Dare the Dems to vote against it !
So which is it, globalist slut Ryan? Catch and Release again, so that 100% of these “families” disappear into our land and destroy our cities? Or should we all pony up some of the few dollars we have left, to create beautiful detention centers and keep them air conditioned and with 3 meals and fresh water a day, for anyone who can crawl across those imaginary lines? Maybe we could let out all of our homegrown criminals in jail who have killed less than 20 people, to have the funds to house the world’s poor a la famille?
The Democrats will sit back and Laugh ,Again
The house will defy the official policy of presidents since Bush II?
The house is full of whimps sucking up to illegals.
How about voting to Throw Ryan out Today
****************
Ryan, the one who claimed he never wanted the job, is still Speaker. The weak and feckless GOP will not remove him.
How about making building an effective wall Priority One, so that this problem (which we also have the privilege to pay for while many needed projects for our own people and infrastructure go begging for lack of funds) doesn’t keep getting dumped in our laps on a daily basis?
I’m glad our congress is so responsive to the needs and wants of the invading illegals, but they don’t seem to give a shit about the wall we Americans voted for.
Why do we have “representatives” again?
Every prisoner in federal custody who misses their children needs to call their lawyer and file a motion to demand that their kids to join them in prison.
Of course the hospitality will be paid by taxpayers.
Nothing for their Tax Sources AKA Citizens.
I mean what are you going to do? Not pay your taxes? They will haul you off to jail.
