Welp, it looks like repealing Obamacare isn’t the only thing Congress can’t agree on:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- House rejects Republican immigration bill, as 11th-hour backing by Trump fails to heal GOP divisions.

A high-profile immigration bill — one that was supported by President Trump and House Republican leadership — goes down by a vote of 121-to-301.

"Compromise" immigration bill FAILS hard. Only pulls down 121 'yay' votes.

Goodlatte got 193.
That difference is more than twice the current membership of the House Freedom Caucus. It'll be hard to pin this on Conservatives alone.
This bill was a watered-down compromise of a bill that was already a compromise. So I think it’s good that it died.
But what this really means is that Republicans can’t fix immigration, not with the moderate mess we have in both the House and Senate.
