BORDER/DREAMERS/GOP/HOUSE OF REPS/IMMIGRATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump heads to Capitol Hill Tuesday [6-19-18] evening to rally House Republicans behind an immigration bill he panned just five days ago. Now Republicans have to decide: Which Trump do they believe? Speaker Paul Ryan and his top lieutenants are well aware that only the president can give conservatives cover to vote for a bill that includes a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers — a huge leap for those who once dismissed that idea as ‘amnesty.’ It’s why leadership invited Trump for a rare meeting with the entire Republican conference, just days after he indicated he might veto the legislation. While White House officials have assured leaders that Trump will give the bill a full-throated endorsement, Trump already appears to be upending that plan. Speaking to a group of business leaders before his Hill visit Tuesday, the president suggested he‘s not satisfied with the current proposal.”
