The Gang of Eight patted itself on the back for successfully passing their bill in the Senate, but, funny thing, the bill was never forwarded to the House for action. The explanation for this irregular omission is fear that the House would "blue slip" the bill.

Article 1, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution gives the sole power to the House to originate all bills for raising revenue, known as the Origination Clause. If the Senate oversteps and includes a provision to raise some revenue (which it did in the Gang's amnesty bill), the House can reject the bill and send it back to the Senate for correction in what is known as a "blue slip" procedure.

The devious Ryan plan to circumvent this rule is for the House to pass five or six bills on various aspects of amnesty and then use that bunch of bills to call for a conference committee with the Senate. Ryan let the cat out of the bag when he told a constituent audience in Racine, Wis. on July 26 that his revised plan now calls for a House vote, not before the August recess as originally expected but in October.

There is no indication that the Ryan amnesty is any better for Americans than the Rubio amnesty. Amnesty is still a bad deal for all, whether it comes in one package or in six.

The theories I've heard put out there is that it will go to conference committee and then its supposed to go back to be voted on by the house and senate but they would somehow magically bypass that portion. Of course this is something we've seen in the past so I wouldn't put it past 'em.

Mark it up and essentially replace it with the language & details of the Senate bill. This is procedural obfuscation, more or less. Ryan just wants to get it to conference, so they can allegedly put together this conglomerate, but actually replace it with the Senate bill. Once it is melded in there as "bipartisan compromise", it becomes increasingly harder to stop.
