signatures. curbelo says he knows who is to blame. why has the house done nothing? because our leadership has regrettably spent a long time trying to win the votes within the house republican conference for a legislation that never had had the chance to achieve the 218 votes that are necessary here in the house. it s an interesting, fascinating fight because immigration has for years been quicksand for republicans internally. but you have a number of republicans here who think they re in trouble. these are not the conservatives freedom caucus pushing these, these are republicans worried they could lose their seat in november because they have more diverse seats than most republicans. i think paul ryan would like nothing more than to add to his legacy than making a move on daca. i think the reason they haven t brought a bill to the floor is they haven t found a solution that the president would sign and that would pass the senate.
