Updated 11:09 a.m. | House Republicans emerged from a closed-door meeting Friday morning with a revised plan to address the child migrant border crisis — one leaders hope to pass later today.
The latest plan will still require the House to vote on the border funding bill before being allowed to vote on language to stop the expansion of President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, according to members exiting the conference meeting.

There was at one point discussion about whether the new proposal would include language to crack down on asylum fraud and raise the threshold for making an asylum claim, but members pushing for those provisions ultimately backed down, saying that as long as the issue was addressed later in the legislation session they would not demand it be integrated into this package.

Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., slammed GOP leaders for trying to pull a “Pelosi” — evoking the minority leader’s infamous line about having to pass the Affordable Care Act to find out what’s in it.
“We’re finding problems in the bill that would be caught and addressed if there were more time,” he said.

I don’t want anything these stinking rats are pitching.
FUGOP!
No checking to find out if theres a fraudulent claim...that’s insane !!!
No more money to fund this fiasco — period
And no more new laws.
Any and all provisions of other laws that allow this should be revoked.
Mo Brooks is dead on the mark, Boehner has to go and the Pelosi trick is proof of it.
“We’re finding problems in the bill that would be caught and addressed if there were more time,” he said.”
Pass a bill, any bill. Claim you are “doing something”. Don't take any responsibility for the content of the bill.
This is the sad state of our congress.
Gift wrapped for Harry Reid and the senate. Broaken into two bills, funding, then stopping Obama. Even if both pass the house, Reid will move on the funding, and table the stop Obama amnesty part along worth the other 300+ house bills.
Boehner should be impeached for falling for this!
Keep calling!
It’s ok. They’ll add that language later. In another bill. They PROMISE.
What? You don’t trust them?
Boehner should be impeached for falling for this!
He’s not “falling” for anything. He’s in on the game.
Right your are. Boehner is a lying piece of S**t.
the Democrats stand in our congress giving a press conference in Spanish ???
He is the most effective House Democrat.
