Republicans: Why no Immigration Bill?

Can someone tell me why Republicans have not put forth and voted on an immigration bill? One that funds the border wall and deals with DACA? Hires more ICE agents and deports more illegals. Tightens up legal immigration. Gets rid of chain migration.

I know, I know, the RINO's won't let them, but really? More like federal courts have upheld the cancellation of the DACA program as being legal so therefore Republicans are reluctant to do anything. Why risk anything with elections coming up? (Politics as usual.)

There is a decent, conservative bill co-authored by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) that would deal with most, if not all of the things that Trump wants.

Goodlatte, McCaul, Labrador, McSally Introduce Immigration Legislation

It's got the support of House Speaker Paul Ryan. The leftist National Immigration Forum opposes it. Why isn't this bill being debated on the House floor?

With some RINO's recently signing a petition to force a House vote either up or down on protecting "Dreamers" I think the Republicans need to act now. Trump proved that immigration is THE hot issue, especially among conservatives, so House Republicans need to start debating the Goodlatte-McCaul bill and hopefully get it passed into law.

No worries. Breitbart is hit or miss. You have to read the articles and figure out if they are legit.

So it appears that Ryan is playing parliamentary rules games to screw up the Goodlatte-McCaul bill. He suppports the bill but only if he can sneak in a more liberal amnesty portion as a separate bill and then tie the two together. Can't have one pass without the other. And since the Goodlatte-McCaul bill only allows amnesty for 800,000 Dreamers (and some professional, high tech workers) Ryan could kill it with the two bill tie-in clause.

Good riddance to Paul Ryan!
