Weeks after the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) expiration date passed, a group of legislators hopes to \u201csend a message\u201d to Speaker Paul Ryan \u2013 a majority of the House supports a \u201cfull\u201d debate on immigration.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is time to have a full debate for the American public and have the entire country decide what border security should look like, what a permanent fix for Dreamers should look like,\u201d declared Rep. Jeff Denham (R-Calif.) at a press conference near the steps of the Capitol building.<\/p>\n
The stated purpose of the bipartisan event was to show Ryan that 240 House members, including 50 Republicans, support a rarely-used procedural measure to bring to the floor without the approval of a committee or the leadership four competing immigration bills.<\/p>\n
Under the \u201cQueen of the Hill\u201d rule, the bill which got the most votes \u2013 and cleared the 218-threshold for passage – would move to the Senate.<\/p>\n
A brilliant last-ditch attempt at a solution to what DACA supporters say is an urgent crisis?<\/p>\n
