No Shutdown: Congress Passes Two
Paul Ryan (
The bill passed in a 240-186 vote despite opposition from most Democrats  who had sought a firmer commitment from Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that he will bring immigration legislation to the floor for a vote that would protect immigrants who came to the United States as children from deportation. House Democrats just barely made up for the defections on the GOP side. A total of 73 Democrats voted for the legislation  while 67 Republicans voted against it.
In his closing remarks   Ryan  noted the bipartisan 71-28 Senate tally  and said that 75 percent of Senate Democrats and 68 percent of Senate Republicans had voted for it.
Before  Ryan  spoke  Nancy Pelosi again called on  him  to commit to a vote on immigration  saying  he  acts more as a Speaker of the White House than a Speaker of the House. The early vote took place because of Sen. Rand Paul who blocked action in the Senate for must of Thursday with a demand on an amendment leaving previous ceilings on federal spending in place.
During the shutdown  Speaker  Paul Ryan  ignored pleas from  his  fellow Republicans to include DACA provisions.
