    The House could come up with a bill to overhaul the country’s immigration system by August, according to the House’s No. 4 Republican. “I believe there is a path that we get a bill on the floor by August,” Rep.

The remarks are a major setback for immigration reform advocates. Many proponents of reform thought that if the House passed small-bore, tightly-focused immigration bills, it would create a pathway for a formal negotiation with the Senate’s bill. But conservatives have balked at entering into negotiations, because they fear...
