The GOP legislator who is pushing the “discharge petition” is telling lobbyists that he will have enough GOP signatures to force an amnesty vote in the House once this week’s primaries are finished, sources tell Breitbart News.

California GOP Rep. Jeff Denham is the frontman in the petition effort, which needs just seven more GOP signatures to reach the 25 needed GOP signatures on the discharge petition. Those 25 signatures will allow the 193 Democrats to take the 218-vote majority control of the House floor and push through a no-strings amnesty for roughly 3 million younger ‘DACA’ illegals.

That amnesty would also block President Donald Trump’s pro-American immigration reforms because it would leave him with nothing to buy off the cheap-labor groups in the GOP and Democratic parties.

“Denham is telling people they’ll get to 25 after primaries today because members will be ‘free’ to co-sponsor” the petition once their state primaries are over, one source told Breitbart News.

Another source told Breitbart News that House Majority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) is the only member of the GOP Leadership currently trying to stop the amnesty vote.

Previously, House Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said he hoped the discharge petition failed. On May 15, The Hill reported that McCarthy said:

Well, we’re still talking after we talked to the President on which way to go … I still have a firm belief discharge is the worst way to legislate.

Outgoing House Speaker Paul Ryan signaled his support for the petition, as Breitbart News noted, during his May 11 press conference. He said:

We want to fix this DACA problem, we want certainty, and we have a border security problem that needs to be addressed. These should not be mutually exclusive goals.
