 GOP leaders try to cut deals to stop DACA vote

Republican lawmakers have been at a standstill as Democrats and GOP moderates threaten to force a vote on Dreamers.

House Republican leaders, eager to stop an immigration showdown in their chamber, have begun cutting deals with lawmakers who might help moderate Republicans trigger bipartisan votes to protect Dreamers.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy phoned Rep. Dennis Ross on Monday and offered the Florida Republican what he wanted in hopes of keeping him from joining the moderates' discharge petition: the promise of a vote on a guest worker program before August recess.

Ross, who's retiring at the end of the year, had been threatening for weeks to join Democrats along with two dozen Republicans to force a series of immigration votes addressing the Obama-era Deferred for Childhood Arrival program. The group needs only three more signatures to reach 218 threshold.

It will die in the Senate...60 votes. The democrats can only muster 52...maybe 53 if the traitor McCain can be wheeled in for a vote.

If it gets past that.. President Trump will veto unless there is a wall.  Thank God for the Russians.
