A clear path to a re-vote on the House farm bill by the end of the week — Friday is the deadline to bring it up again in its present form — may depend on House leaders keeping to their plan to vote on a pair of immigration bills this week. One of those bills, Rep. Bob Goodlatte's conservative bill, which would revamp the H-2A agricultural guest worker program, among other things, is the vote that many conservative House Freedom Caucus members demanded take place before they would support the House farm bill, H.R. 2 (115).

A major hangup on the immigration front could complicate the timing of Take 2 on H.R. 2 — and comments President Donald Trump made on Friday morning about the pair of immigration measures upended the plans of GOP leadership and the White House, who had worked together to craft the second of the two bills, a moderate bill that was released on Thursday and would shield Dreamers from deportation.

"I'm looking at both of them," Trump told "Fox & Friends" in an interview Friday morning from the White House lawn. "I certainly wouldn't sign the more moderate one." Senior Republicans told POLITICO that Trump heard conservative criticism of the proposal on TV, and swatted the proposal down, Rachael Bade and Nolan D. McCaskill reported.

The White House later walked those comments back, but the hours of confusion led House Majority Whip Steve Scalise to threaten to withdraw his support for the package. His office told Breitbart that the Louisiana Republican, who wants to be speaker someday, would not whip support for any immigration bill Trump opposed. White House spokesman Raj Shah said later Friday that Trump "would sign either" bill, but a rare Tuesday evening conference meeting has been scheduled between Trump and House

Republicans to clarify his support for the moderate bill. Stay tuned.
