GOP centrists face decision day on Dreamer petition

Republican centrists will have to show their cards on immigration cards Tuesday after a month of gamesmanship within the House Republican Conference.

If the centrists demanding votes on legislation to protect “Dreamers,” who came to the country illegally as children, can get 218 signatures on their petition, it will force a vote this month that Republican leaders have sought to avoid.

If they do not, they’ll miss a deadline, punting the issue to July and taking their foot off the accelerator.

The moderates will begin the day three signatures shy of 218, but they insist they have the support to reach the threshold.
