I knew there was a reason why @cathymcmorris reminded me of Kelly Ayotte**

**–Once-rising legislator who threw in her lot with GOP pro-amnesty, loose-borders leadership. No longer in Congress. https://t.co/y1fA1InZcE

Maybe it's not just swing-seat moderates (eg Curbelo) who need vote on Ryan bill so they can say "I voted for Dreamers." All 40 "no" GOPs need another vote because now they're hanging out to dry having opposed a conservative wall/everify/chain reform https://t.co/vrTOh8SL4e

Up to a point, @matthewjdowd. Sen. Obama voted for the poison pill amendment that killed Bush's amnesty effort. Amendment was Byron Dorgan's–a populist Democrat from era before Dems went all in on max. immigration https://t.co/iKrgPhReRe

Lowry notes the "separation" debate isn't about whether ICE can oust illegals who've put down roots for 10 years; but whether we have a border that freely (fecklessly!) lets in people who just got here yesterday. https://t.co/48roNX805A

I've got it: Maybe if he tweets "We must fix our broken immigration system" and help DREAMers "get right with the law" they'll fall in line! Throw in a few drones? I'm talking DRONES, people! That always works. https://t.co/qsK0a6JKEf

Good point: Why not start with the first, almost-succesful Goodlatte bill and move left, instead of starting with the Ryan bill nobody really likes and moving right? https://t.co/TpQapaXm9M

The House came within 20 or so votes of passing a bill that would reduce legal immigration by 25%. At some point that will sink in. ….

Are they adding E-Verify because they know the Senate will take it back out? (Also, watch the fine print.) https://t.co/9b98Y8mE7f

A TWEET WILL SAVE THEM! THAT'S THE TICKET! Pathetic, and telling about what they think of voters–i.e. they think they're idiots who don't know an amnesty when they see it.

Even if they show up at court dates (a bit less than 40% don't now) Catch & Relase still creates large incentive for ordinary economic migrants to gin up asylum story, spend a few years in US. Worst comes to worse they're sent back. It's why coyotes call it a "Permiso" https://t.co/wGN7T0QpVw

Ryan & GOP leaders face humiliation of their precious "compromise" doing worse than the original conservative Goodlatte bill. To encourage this result, keep calling. https://t.co/U9IeKPBwY3

Delay gives Ryan/Scalise them time to try to twist arms–as @ChadPergram notes, if they had the votes they would go ahead and vote. So keep calling 202 224 3121 https://t.co/zLJOIpLVNo

Vote on Ryan Amnesty DELAYED until tomorrow. Gives leadership more time to twist arms. Means opponents have more time to call! (202 224 3121 or find # here https://t.co/BR0ia7uu2r. Or plug in your ZIP here https://t.co/ZBr0p3Jq1S) https://t.co/qhnGLvlLtz

More restrictionist bill was supposed to only get 160-70, per some sources https://t.co/ItL2Y7QBPr Got 193. On to vote on the Ryan "compromise"– 3X the amnesty, no E-verify! Keep calling if you oppose 202 224 3121. https://t.co/dKE4ZqgcpB

Ryan's "Amnesty First" plan is SCHEDULED FOR A VOTE TODAY. Here's the @NumbersUSA case against it https://t.co/UYbVe4oPws Now is NO TIME TO STOP CALLING (202 224 3121) or tweeting if you oppose. They're supposedly short of votes but leadership often has a trick up their sleeve https://t.co/HMpxEsqQTY
