I disagree with the title, Trump had little to do with the stalemate that has been going on in the House over Immigration. For months now, news articles have stated that the conservative version sitting in the house does not have enough support to pass. The compromise version may have enough support in the House if enough tweaks are made, a major issue with it would be if they remove or water down issues that Trump has said was necessary to pass. At that point, it is unlikely to pass the Senate.
The Democrats preferred versions have no chance of passing both the House or Senate much less being signed by Trump.

All Trump cares about his stirring the pot, keeping chaos in the government. He is the king of drama queens.

One of the GOP members was quoted as saying, "It would be easier to get cooperation on this if he'd just tell us what he wants, but he keeps changing his mind." I just do not understand why he creates so much chaos. They had worked a bipartisan plan for several weeks. This tells me he cares nothing about progress and solving issues.

Trump told them exactly what he wants and the Senate already has a bill that matches everything he wanted, you can read it. It is called the conservative immigration bill. The problem is none of the Democrats support it and many of the moderate Republicans don't support it either.
The Republicans have a more moderate plan, but the Democrats don't support it either. The only bill Democrats would support is unable to be passed by either the House, Senate, or signed by the president.

MSG (Join to see) - It's called compromise. We do it every day in our lives. They used to do it in Congress. It's what the Constitutional Congress did when they wrote the Constitution. He would rather break the eggs than cook them a different way, or have a few at a time. That's not leadership. You want to blame the Dems, but they only matter in the Senate, not the House. And all the R's cannot agree on getting it out of the House. They do not all support it. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/21/us/politics/house-immigration-bills-dreamers-daca-family-separation.html
