WASHINGTON ― House Republicans say they’re making progress on a plan to do the long-impossible: unite a fractured GOP conference on the issue of immigration. Meanwhile, conservatives believe any immigration deal that Republicans strike among themselves would skew more toward the conservatives’ ideology, considering the small number of moderates in the 235-person Republican House majority. They also note that any immigration deal would have to win Senate approval and secure President Donald Trump’s signature to become law. But the president has shown no indication that he’s willing to budge from his demands for a sweeping immigration bill. But GOP moderates from districts with large immigrant populations see a pressing need to resolve the issue.
