What’s Behind Immigration Legislation Turmoil In U.S. House?

Thursday morning on CNN, U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan spoke about immigration legislation in a press conference.

“We never promised an outcome, but we promised an effort," said Ryan.

That sums up the sunny face the Republican majority is trying to put on a bill process marked by in-fighting.

Two GOP-backed bills will hit the floor Thursday for votes.

Washington Post’s senior political reporter Aaron Blake joined The Show to talk about what’s in the bills, how they are different and what’s behind the turmoil.
