Ryan seeks to tamp down GOP rebellion, saying immigration bill needs Trump support

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) sought to put down a revolt from pro-immigration Republicans on Thursday, insisting he wants to bring a bipartisan immigration bill to the House floor before the crucial midterm elections.

But the Speaker reiterated that the immigration legislation would need to get President Trump’s endorsement first — a tall order given the inability of Trump and Democrats to agree on an immigration compromise.

“I’d like to. I want to have — I want to fix this problem, so I would like to have an immigration vote before the midterms. But I want to have a vote on something that could make it into law. I don’t want to have show ponies,” Ryan told reporters at his weekly news conference.

“I want to have actual law and that means the White House has to be a part of this and it’s got to be a bill the president can sign,” Ryan added.
