After nine months of empty promises to help young undocumented immigrants, House Republicans are facing a make-or-break moment on Thursday.
Retiring Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) will pitch a long-awaited compromise immigration plan to rank-and-file Republicans in the Capitol basement. The meeting is one of the biggest of the Congress for House Republicans, and it could get heated.
The immigration discussion represents a last-ditch effort to head off a nasty intraparty, election-year clash that leaders have warned could determine whether the GOP keeps control of the House in November.
But it may be too little, too late.
Even some Ryan allies are pouring cold water on the Speaker’s effort to win 218 GOP votes for the compromise legislation. If he fails, some two-dozen centrist Republicans are threatening to buck leadership and move forward with their discharge petition, a move that would trigger a series of contentious immigration votes on the floor five months before the midterm elections.
“I don’t see how we [get] 218 Republicans. I’d love to see it, but I’m just being realistic,” said Rep. Dennis Ross (R-Fla.), a senior deputy whip who may sign the immigration petition if the issue remains unresolved.
GOP leaders had originally set aside two hours for Thursday’s “family discussion” on immigration. But in order to give all lawmakers a chance to weigh in, leaders are now saying they will not place a time limit on the 9 a.m. meeting in the Capitol.
Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) said the meeting will last “however long it takes for the family to come together.”

The poison dream of cheap labor is killing the Republican party.
The three lying commie pigs, Scott Wong, Mike Lillis and Melanie Zanona, are trying to stir up trouble and create dissention.
Ignore this propaganda crap. It’s a trap.
Ryan selling us out before taking lucrative private sector deals.
Compromise on what time of day you send them back.
Then get back to me.
Ryan is retired. PASS NOTHING !!
The little runaway coward.
Capitulation.
Trump will veto any such measure, and it will likely sink Ryan’s crew along with him. But the globalists who write the campaign checks are likely demanding a kamikaze bayonet charge against the people, so I can see this attempt being tried.
It just might get Ryan removed early.
Our elected “representatives” sure spend an enormous amount of time on things we have explicitly told them NOT TO WORK ON ...
We must eliminate these traitors, come what may.
And at all costs.
If the GOP is a ‘family,’ then there’s only one word to describe it: dysfunctional.
“The poison dream of cheap labor is killing the Republican party.”
They’ve been dead for decades.
“Free Trade”, open borders and illegals killed them by 1990.
They don’t know anything else.
First the GOP must die. Everything else comes after that.
Voids always get filled.
There needs to be a viable replacement.
Only then can the GOPe be relegated to the past.
There is no such person as an “young undocumented immigrant”....
There does exist many young illegal aliens whose presence in the United States break our immigration laws...
We do not need immigration reform...We only need to uphold the laws we now have...
The only comprehensive immigration reform we need is (1) fund the wall, (2) end change migration, (3) end lotteries, (4) end DACA, (5) end birthright citizenship, (6) require eVerify for all current/future workers, (7) end H1B, H2B, H4, and other visa programs, and (8) DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS WHENEVER AND WHEREVER THEY ARE FOUND. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
And this is how the Uniparty takes down the GOP wing and gets Trump impeached if Ryan succeeds.
Good summary. BIG money to their campaigns for this.
The outcome will probably be a Dem majority (though Trump has a tendency to upset expectations).
ABSOLUTELY NOT! Give these open-borders globalists nothing!
Preferably at the end of a rope
These traitors should be strung up.
