Forty-one House Republicans voted against a bill that would have secured funding for the president’s border wall, addressed DACA, included E-verify and other conservative provisions.
Members voted on an amended version of GOP Reps. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia and Michael McCaul of Texas that provided more border security funding, only granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients a temporary protected three-year legal status with no pathway for citizenship (which moderate Republicans are fervently asking leadership to provide) and included other features, such as E-verify.
The bill failed in the House in a 193-231 vote Thursday.
Here the Republican members who voted against the bill:
Paul Gosar of Arizona
Andy Biggs of Arizona
Jeff Denham of California

Some of the members who voted against the bill did so because leadership altered the bill before the final vote, adding on amendments and provisions that they deem “amnesty.”
Leadership rolled out another proposal after a conference meeting on June 11, calling it a compromise proposal. The bill includes a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, known as “Dreamers;” some funding for the president’s much-lauded border wall and provisions to end the separation of children from their parents who illegally immigrated to the U.S.
The bill faces uncertainty in the House. After Goodlatte was shot down Thursday afternoon, leadership pushed the vote on its bill to Friday, only to later push it back again to next week.
President Donald Trump also called the fate of leadership’s proposal into question Friday morning, asking for the lower chamber to wait until after the November midterm elections to address the issue.
