U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman and a bipartisan cadre of House members have a legislative maneuver to get a bill to help Dreamers to the Senate.

The Republican from Aurora announced having the pieces in places to invoke the rare “queen of the hill” rule. He worked with Democrat Pete Aguilar and Republican Jeff Denham of California, Democrat Lujan Grisham of New Mexico and Republican Will Hurd of Texas.

They secured commitments from 240 House members to use the rule, which allows 218 members members to agree to hear four bills on the House floor, without going through normal committees or leadership. The bill with the highest number of votes goes to the Senate.

At stake is the fate of more than 17,000 undocumented Colorado residents who brought to the U.S. as children and shielded from deportation by the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. The bill was called the Dream Act, and those who benefit from it are called Dreamers.

President Trump ended the program last year (although the courts have held up his order) and told Congress to send him a better proposal.

“The time to secure our borders and find a permanent solution for DACA recipient is now,” Coffman said in a statement. “The president gave Congress six months, and yet no bill has been debated or brought to the House floor for a vote.

“Today, my colleagues and I call on congressional leadership to bring these bills to the floor for debate and consideration. We can no longer delay securing our borders and giving families the certainty they need.”

President Trump, though mercurial on the issue, is eager to get the border wall with Mexico that he promised his voters during the campaign two years ago.

Of the four bills, the USA Act has bipartisan support. The bill provides a permanent answer for DACA recipients and border security measures that combines technology and some “physical barriers.”

The quarter of bills also would include the Republican Securing America’s Future Act and the Democrats’ so-called clean Dream Act, and an immigration bill chosen by the House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Whichever bill makes it to the Senate has at least a fighting chance. The Senate is where Colorado U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet had success with the Gang of Eight in 2013 to pass a bipartisan immigration reform bill, only to watch in wither away in the House, much as the DACA solution is doing.
