GOP leaders pledge to intensify push for hard-line DACA bill
GOP leaders pledge to intensify push for hard-line DACA bill
Camille Fine
By Mike Lillis
GOP leaders promised House conservatives Thursday they'll push more forcefully for a hard-line immigration package that couples "Dreamer" protections with a host of tougher enforcement measures favored by immigration hawks.
A number of conservative Republicans are rallying behind a new proposal, sponsored by House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), that would take aggressive steps to strengthen security measures while granting certain rights to beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which President Trump is ending in March.
GOP leaders have not put their full weight behind the bill, as Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the majority leader, continues to engage in bipartisan talks designed to reach a DACA deal before the March 5 deadline. But that seems poised to change.
Huddling Thursday night with leaders of the far-right Freedom Caucus, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) promised Reps. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) that he'd assemble a team "to work that bill harder," according to a source familiar with the discussion.
