06/13/2018: House Reportedly Will Vote on Immigration Reform Bills Next Week

  • Reportedly, the House Speaker Paul Ryan has decided to schedule vote on Republican Immigration Reform bills next week from the judgment any further delays with the immigration reform legislation could negatively affect the current Republican majority House in the coming November mid-term national elections. Thus far the House has failed to reach a compromise bill between the far right members group and moderate members group, but the Speaker is pushing for the Republican legislation next week. Reportedly, the far right group bill is Securing America's Future Act (H.R. 4760), which was introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas), House Judiciary Committee Immigration and Border Security Subcommittee Chairman Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho), and House Homeland Security Committee Border and Maritime Security Subcommittee Chairwoman Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) on 01/10/2018. Moderate group has yet to produce their proposal, but it is anticipated that they will produce their bill for the votes next week. H.R. 4760 proposes to eliminate immigration lottery, reduce chain migration, increase employment-based immigrant workers, and provide a temporary relief for stay and work for "current DACAs" on three-year terms without permanent residence or naturalization reliefs. Reportedly, this bill is supported by President Trump. See below for the details of this bill:
  • Reportedly, the House GOP does not have enough votes to pass this bill. Neither the moderate GOP group bills will have enough votes. Accordingly, there will be a lot of movements among the House members for the next one week and further future.

House Republicans negotiating an immigration bill struck a deal Tuesday evening that sets up a vote on two immigration bills next week, House Speaker Paul Ryan's spokeswoman announced.  

"Members across the Republican Conference have negotiated directly and in good faith with each other for several weeks, and as a result, the House will consider two bills next week that will avert the discharge petition and resolve the border security and immigration issues," the spokeswoman, AshLee Strong, said. 

The full House Republican conference will meet Wednesday morning to discuss the bills. 

The agreement came together as an attempt to head off an effort by moderate Republicans to force votes on four separate immigration bills on June 25. Tuesday evening was the deadline by which they had to gather the necessary 218 signatures for the procedural measure, called a discharge petition. The discharge petition ultimately received 216 signatures. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-TX, the lone Democrat who was withholding support, signed the petition Tuesday evening. 

Rep. Carlos Curbelo, one of the moderates behind the discharge petition, hailed the news as a "major development but urged fellow Republicans and Democrats to keep their names on the discharge petition until they verify what is in the proposed legislation.

"While we believe all parties have negotiated in good faith, until and unless we confirm the proposed legislation fully addresses the interests and concerns that unite us we must and will keep up the pressure," he said in a statement. "Members of the House –– from both parties – have demanded action, and this legislative tool has been the driving force and impetus for these negotiations and any possible vote or agreement that could result in House action on immigration for the first time in nearly a decade."

Curbelo told reporters that Ryan agreed to keep the floor open for those members while negotiations continued. The moderates behind the discharge petition met separately from the conservative House Freedom Caucus members to see if they could hammer out the last few obstacles to a deal. Curbelo said that in addition to the outstanding substantive issues, the two sides were debating procedural questions around bringing a deal to the floor.

Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Washington, was considering signing onto the discharge petition but said in a statement Tuesday evening that he decided not to because Ryan assured him that the House would hold a vote on an immigration bill that would "give certainty to DACA beneficiaries and secure our border."

"The DACA beneficiaries with whom I have spoken in Central Washington are not asking for a symbolic vote on measures that have no chance at becoming law. For me, reaching a long-term solution is vital for DACA beneficiaries. These DACA beneficiaries have asked me for certainty, and I strongly believe this may be the best legislative vehicle," he said. 

Newhouse added that he received a personal commitment from Ryan and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy to bring forward a separate immigration bill to deal with immigrant agricultural workers before the August recess.

In fiscal year 2017, the U.S. approved 559,536 foreigners for legal permanent residence (known as a green card), a 9% drop from the previous year. So far in 2018, the numbers are even lower, falling an additional 6%, according to State Department data.

Honestly, if this tightens it's a good sign for us. We will get those unused visas. But I really doubt they can do anything to this program. At the end they are getting TONS of money and no one ready to lose that revenue.
