Republicans aim to debate immigration bill next week, ignoring Trump plea

Republican leaders in the U.S. House of Representative still plan to bring an immigration bill up for a vote next week, despite President Donald Trump’s urgings on Friday to drop the effort until after November’s elections.

“We are bringing that bill to the floor,” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said, referring to legislation that has been postponed because of a lack of support among warring factions of the Republican Party.
