The US House of Representative members is expected to hold a vote on an immigration bill that may keep migrant families from being separated as they cross the U.S.-Mexico border.
GOP leaders are light on details with their latest version of the bill, which is an attempt to find a compromise between immigration hardliners and moderates in their party to fund Trump's border wall, provide real border security and strengthen immigration enforcement inside the #USA
House Democrats have been united against the legislation, so no one is sure there are enough votes to pass the bill. If the latest bill fails, the House is expected to take up a narrow bill that would deal only with the immediate crisis of keeping migrant families together.
