Especially when it comes to immigration–creating new citizens, unlike raising or lowering taxes, is irreversible. Rule 22 supermajority seems reasonable requirement before we take that step, no? https://t.co/7tJ1JSLb1X

SWEET: Ryan said he believed there was a "sweet spot" in his caucus on immigration. We now know there was. It was the first Goodlatte bill. But Ryan disdained it in favor of his pet "compromise"(3X the amnesty) which just went down to humilating defeat. https://t.co/e8hEzZmCSB

Glad we can savor Ryan/Denham's amnesty humiliation on a slow news day without any competing stories.

HERE WE GO AGAIN: Think the DACA-for-Wall deal (just rejected in the House). is dead? Not so fast. Looks like it's coming back as part of the budget negotiations. https://t.co/H4bmrL2YYR

The Ryan Amnesty debate featured the entire GOP House leadership and President Trump against @NumbersUSA and @Heritage.
It wasn't close. https://t.co/SrlSwVWwJW

Ryan "compromise" DACA amnesty gets only 121 votes. Seems a big embarrassment for @SpeakerRyan, who disdained the tougher Goodlatte I bill (with a much smaller amnesty, plus E-verify) that got 193. Thanks to all who phoned and emailed.

E-Verify is OUT of the Ryan Amnesty bill. Can now oppose without qualms 202 224 3121
Also, don't you get worried when press confidently says a bill's going nowhere! Nobody really knows until they vote. Surprises possible. Voter pressure can help defeat https://t.co/BR0ia7uu2r https://t.co/SDMGRS8WXJ

FYI, voter turnout in CA primary is now up to 36.8%. https://t.co/BUx4wT0BAW Not so low — @camatters and @DanCALmatters were right.

Will be pressure on Trump to tweet in favor of the Ryan Amnesty. Another reason to keep calling if you oppose 202 224 3121 or https://t.co/BR0ia7cTaT. Only a few hours more (in theory) …. https://t.co/lAaxyDHzp2

Last few hours-one hopesI-!to phone your Rep and oppose the Ryan Amnesty. 1) Too big–2+M 2) "Amnesty 1st" structure 3) Gives PARENTS of "DREAMers"–who brought them here illegally–eventual citizenship 4) E-Verify will be cut out in Sen.

PUNDITRY! @Axios says:"For President Trump's first term, the domestic agenda appears to be all but over." But even just on immigration you can see at least 2 more occasions for action-1) Budget standoff 2) If courts uphold DACA cancellation https://t.co/v3BxzsLMIy
