*UPDATE: The conservative immigration bill failed to pass the House
The House began debating on the Goodlatte immigration bill, considered the more conservative one, at 12:20PM ET. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced that the House will vote on the compromise bill tomorrow.
It looks like House leadership will meet in the office of Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) ahead of the vote.
Chad Pergram tweeted that the House has decided to debate the farm bill between the two immigration bills, which will give House leadership time to persuade GOP members to vote for the compromise bill.
