WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives will only consider an immigration reform bill that has President Donald Trump’s support, House Speaker Paul Ryan said on Tuesday as lawmakers continue to weigh possible reforms amid larger budget negotiations.

“We’re not going to bring immigration legislation through that the president doesn’t support... it’s going to be a bill that we support, that the president supports,” Ryan told reporters at a news conference.

Trump on Monday appeared to reject a plan that was showing bipartisan support in the House and Senate.

1. Ryan Lackey

2. DACA and Dreaters are DOA.........

In so many words. The House WILL, now only take up legislation if the President approves and supports? What happened to doing the work of the PEOPLE?

Republicans have lost their cotton pickin minds.

3. Which means no bill at all

Meantime, in case you haven't heard Tweets this morning

George W. Bush says our elections need, ready for this?, paper ballots.

And I did see one post that Republicans in Pennsylvania want to impeach the entire state Supreme Court that ruled against their gerrymandering.

Can't get much more partisan than that.

8. Why not? At least use the paper ballots in small, ...

select areas as a means to correlate the electronic totals being derived, e.g., out of 100 districts voting, randomly select a few districts in order to compare w/ overall totals and ensure that voter totals are correctly being passed along. Voters don't have to vote paper either, they can continue to vote electronic if they wish (we have this option still in St. Louis City, paper or electronic), but the voting machines at the conclusion of that voter's voting, would print off an electronic copy of the votes, ask (if desired) if electronic copy matches their electronic voting.

Just a thought...

4. Coward.

Only extreme anti-immigration bills allowed. Kelly and Miller must be ecstatic to hear this "news".

Things won't change until we take over the House (please everybody help as much as possible to vote and help others vote).

5. He has lost whatever small shred of humanity he once might have had

It is breathtaking to watch people who used to purport to stand for something cower in the face of Trump.

6. time

Time for a democrat controlled, veto-proof congress

[ffr]

7. I long for the Tip O'neil days of democratic majorities

Let's make it happen in '18. GOTV!

[rtracey]

10. yes and

yes and dare I say it.... a NON Nancy Pelosi as Speaker democrat controlled house

[ffr]

9. Just what we expected. Nothing doing in the conservative senate and nothing in the house

Two days from another government shutdown.

[SWBTATTReg]

11. Yeah, sure, pass an immigration law...

tRUMP has been all over the road w/ this issue and can't be nailed down. He's using this issue as a 'red button' issue in order to stir up his supporters and isn't even interested what-so-ever in passing anything.

Our great president cadet bone spurs...

[reflection]

12. Ryan, what's your job again?

To generate pre-approved legislation from a man-infant, or craft law as a leader? You impotent douche. He'll sign anything if Republicans stand tall for it, because he doesn't want to take blame for anything, and has zero grasp of policy. Pass a bill and do your job.

[no_hypocrisy]

13. Bullish*t

Ryan can get a veto proof majority without funding Trump's wall with money we don't have.

[Stonepounder]

14. Gee, now they can just pass a bill that, in its entirity, says:

"Whatever you want, Dear Leader."

Just think, now we won't have to pay salaries for all our Representatives and their staffs.
