House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and GOP leadership have delayed a vote on a compromise immigration bill until next week, according to House GOP members.

Leadership made that decision at a conference meeting Thursday night after delaying the vote once earlier in the day to Friday.

According to lawmakers, members were concerned that issues concerning agriculture visas and E-Verify were atop the list of concerns and could make their way into the bill.

Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., flanked by Reps. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., and Mark Walker, R-N.C., told reporters Thursday evening that the two issues have not been discussed during the weeks of negotiations between the two sides.

“We’re having a discussion about E-Verify and Ag jobs — two more very important issues we have yet to discuss so far,” said Denham, a top centrist involved in negotiations. “So we’re going to spend the weekend, delay a vote ‘til next week and see if we can come to a compromise on those two final issues.”

Let's hope it gets "delayed" right out of existence!

Ryan is the poster child for the phrase 'Lame Duck'.

Best to get rid of him now rather than waiting until his term ends.
