Pergram also reported: Meadows says he had it out with the Spkr on the flr because no one is completely sure what immigration bills they are voting on tomorrow. “There are multiple things in the text which do not match the talking pts.” Meadows says he was “passionately advocating” for his position

It’s as if the 2016 election never happened.
Speaker Paul Ryan will allow votes this week on immigration including amnesty for illegal immigrant Dreamers.
Speaker Paul Ryan promised to pass amnesty for illegals in February.
Ryan also promised to pass amnesty back in September 2017.
President Trump promised Democrats amnesty for up to 3 million illegals if they would agree to build a border wall.
Democrats refused the deal.
So now pro-amnesty Republicans are determined to give Democrats what they want anyway.
These politicians are working against the American people.
