“The House rejected a Republican compromise bill on immigration Wednesday, effectively ending a months-long GOP drama that had put the conference’s internal politics on display,” The Hill reports.
“The measure won far fewer GOP votes than a more hardline measure rejected last week in a 193-231 vote. With the vote continuing, only 114 Republicans had backed it, with 34 not having voted yet.”
Washington Post: “The legislation largely followed immigration principles issued by the White House in January, providing $25 billion for President Trump’s long-sought border wall, scaling back legal immigration and giving young undocumented immigrants a shot at citizenship. It also would allow migrant families to remain together in detention.”
