Is Ryan worried his leadership "compromise" will get fewer votes than the Original Goodlatte bill (much smaller amnesty, with E-Verify)? https://t.co/MyPIuN59SX

The problem is they've named the "compromise" bill "Goodlatte" also …. Better to call it the "compromise" bill and the Original Goodlatte (OG) bill … https://t.co/72rddwXIqF

Ryan disingenuously selling his big (2M and up) amnesty as a way to "keep families together"– though the latter provision could easily stand alone. https://t.co/ze5WXSU5SD

Repeal Flores FTW … Only 19% favor the Dems' catch/release/hope-they-show-up position …
(PS Even if they do show up, getting to stay in the US for years is just too big an incentive for migrants to overwhelm asylum system.) https://t.co/tHYJu2Qgii

You can still let Congress know what you think of "flipping"on amnesty… Vote still on for tomorrow … 202 224 3121 https://t.co/O3gSbbRoo3

Ryan pushes his amnesty bill, now rebranded as a way to stop family separations (though that could be handled by a standalone bill). https://t.co/ze5WXSU5SD Whip count was weak, but they don't give up. 202 224 3121 (Capitol Switchboard)

Looks like they are plowing ahead to a vote on the Ryan Amnesty despite a weak whip count. Reason to keep calling if you oppose it: 202 224 3121 or find your Rep. here: https://t.co/BR0ia7uu2r https://t.co/Tk9f94fl8Z

1000%? 2000%? 3000%? If they're going to try to get Trump to endorse Ryan's amnesty once more, with feeling — maybe it's also a good idea to keep calling the White House to urge Trump *not* to do that. 202 456 1414 is the switchboard. https://t.co/E7Jnsma54j

This is so NOT a reason to stop calling (202 224 3121). Ryan and K St. do not give up easily. They'll try to revive the amnesty somehow,
They'll do *anything* (as long as it isn't mandating E-Verify) … https://t.co/aCoUd3XgiU

They have to vote on *something* to get rid of the discharge petition, no? (I'm no expert.) Or is the next move of Ryan & Amnestiers to just let the discharge petition go ahead? https://t.co/aCoUd3XgiU

What could Trump do to convince them he won't change his mind? Offer them the deed to Trump Tower? Call in the Bocchicchios as hostages? He's Trump. And it's a bad bill. So they can't count on him not to turn on it, no? https://t.co/E7JnsmrFVR

Trump's endorsement of the "compromise" bill seems a bit Luther-Strangey to me … https://t.co/MV4qWF6CRo He wants to talk about everything except immigration, then barely mouths an ambiguous endorsement. You can take that to the bank!
