INBOX: IMMIGRATION? 鈥� After some high procedural drama surrounding a little-used petition process, House Republican leadership that would provide increased funding for a wall at the border with Mexico and set up a visa system for DACA recipients.

Leaders had planned to vote on the bill this week, but President Donald Trump threw cold water on the compromise when he announced Friday morning he wouldn鈥檛 sign the measure. Republicans scrambled to save the bill, with senior leaders predicting the president would walk back his remarks, . The bill鈥檚 fate was murky even before Trump鈥檚 remarks, with Democrats and hard-line conservatives both questioning the measure.

The future of 680,000 DACA recipients has been in turmoil for nine months, after the Trump administration ended the program. It has since continued renewing applications under court order, though most DACA recipients whose statuses expired have lost protections.

Lawmakers have been unable to come to a deal that satisfies Democrats and moderate Republicans who urge a pathway to citizenship for the so-called Dreamers, hard-line conservative Republicans who oppose citizenship, and President Trump, who has long demanded money for a border as part of any immigration deal.

ICYMI: LGBT SUICIDE PREVENTION 鈥� Sen. Orrin Hatch is an unlikely advocate for acceptance of LGBT Americans.

In the 1970s, he said gay people have a 鈥減sychological deficiency鈥� and shouldn鈥檛 be allowed to teach in public schools, and he was a strong defender of federal laws barring married same-sex couples from receiving government benefits, .

Yet on Wednesday, Hatch, an 84-year-old Mormon and strong social conservative, made an to send a 鈥渕essage of love鈥� to LGBT Americans, particularly LGBT young people, who .

鈥淟GBT youth deserve our unwavering love and support. They deserve our validation and the assurance that not only is there a place for them in this society, but that it is far better off because of them. These young people need us, and we desperately need them,鈥� Hatch said.

Hatch, with Indiana Democratic senator Joe Donnelly, wrote a bill that would require the Federal Communications Commission to recommend an easy-to-remember three-digit number for the National Suicide Prevention Hotline, like 911 for emergency services.

The National Suicide Prevention Hotline number is 1-800-273-8255. The Trevor Project鈥檚 hotline for LGBTQ youth is 1-866-488-7386.
