Hardline immigration bill fails in the House
Source: The Hill
The House on Thursday rejected a hard-line immigration bill — introduced by Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) — after leadership postponed a second vote on a compromise measure written with centrists.
The 193-231 vote came a day after President Trump signed an executive order ending the controversial practice of separating children from parents who cross the border illegally.
Every Democrat and 41 Republicans voted against Goodlatte's bill.
A second vote on the compromise measure has been delayed until Friday as leaders seek to rally support for it.
