GOP Retreat: Rep. Jeff Denham Says Party’s Quietly Crafting Broad Immigration Billby Jonathan Strong, 15 Jan 2015 “I think leadership’s commitment is not only to bring up immigration reform, but to bring it up in multiple different bills. The question is the timing of that and the sequence of those bills,” Denham said. “We’ve gotta be able to discuss the DREAMers, the 11.5 million that are here today, as well as a Guest Worker program, in the overall discussion of border security,” Denham said, later adding, “We’ve had a working group for quite some time on the various pieces of immigration on doing everything from a comprehensive bill to a step-by-step approach, but finding out who in our conference is actually open to debate and discussion.” www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/01/15/gop-retreat-rep-jeff-denham-says-partys-quietly-crafting-broad-immigration-bill/

Let the treachery begin... Damned Gutless Coward McConnell: Senate Will 'Try to Pass' House Immigration BillGOP leader gives conservatives what they want, though the spending measure is unlikely to pass the Senate.By Sarah Mimms January 15, 2015 HERSHEY, Pa.—After hearing a week's worth of complaints from his conservative members, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday that the Senate will attempt to approve a House-passed bill that guts President Obama's executive actions on immigration. Months after the president announced his executive action to protect millions of illegal immigrants within U.S. borders, Senate Republican leaders have been cagey about how they will respond, raising concerns among border hawks within the conference. But McConnell affirmed at a joint House and Senate Republican retreat in Hershey, Pa., that he will work to get the House's bill—which passed that chamber Wednesday—to the president's desk. "We're going to try to pass it," he told reporters Thursday. www.nationaljournal.com/congress/senate-gop-leaders-won-t-pledge-to-follow-house-lead-on-immigration-20150115
