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

Trump. at rally, ignores Ryan amnesty bill scheduled for vote today. But don't worry, GOPs! He's committed to it 1,000 percent. If you vote for it, he's got your back. Won't ever abandon you. Never. No sirree. https://t.co/ZvQMIr1C55

If Ryan's as keen on a Legacy Amnesty as I think he is, he'll bring neither immig. bill up for a vote if they're going down. Instead, he'll let the discharge petition keep going, adding pressure. https://t.co/fSGsmLuzxt #alwaysbeparanoid

Note that even House Freedom Caucus members like @DesJarlaisTN04 are described as only "leaning against the [Ryan amnesty] bill." Good to keep calling until they stop leaning & make up their minds … 202 224 3121 or https://t.co/vJwuyY8SCg

Rep. Massie says GOP leaders really "were using the political pressure on the family separation issue to induce members to vote for the [big DREAMer amnesty] bill." Massie notes separation could be dealt with in a "limited, focused, stand-alone bill" https://t.co/54u0wRy9mf

Why does Scalise think more time will *help* Ryan's amnesty? With the emotional family-separation controversy fading, it will become increasingly apparent to the GOP base what leadership's trying to do. Rushing it through, a la omnibus, was the plan for a reason. https://t.co/GhAmCkOmX9

Not collapsing fast enough! GOP whip @SteveScalise wants to delay the vote to give himself more time to twist arms for amnesty. Good reason to keep calling or tweeting against the Ryan bill: 202 224 3121 or https://t.co/BR0ia7uu2r https://t.co/bXogQBNN4L

So why is Paul Ryan (and Trump) persistently alienating them by pursuing a big DREAMer amnesty? OK, Ryan's retiring. Why do McCarthy & Scalise go along? https://t.co/zODKKJHRr6
