Gop Negotiators: Gop Leaders and Immigration Measure

gop negotiators: GOP leaders set out to pass the sweeping immigration measure on their own, without Democratic input, after some members agitated for action, according to The Chronicle Herald. Now they are facing almost certain defeat, stung by their own divisions and President Donald Trump's wavering support. Instead, lawmakers are expected to turn toward a narrow bill to prevent immigrant family separations in hopes of addressing that issue before leaving town for the Fourth of July recess. It remained unclear late Tuesday what the final version of the immigration legislation would contain. But it was not expected to be included. GOP negotiators had been working over the weekend on an amendment to tack on provisions to draw more support. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
