Two months after efforts to protect “Dreamers” fractured into a frenzy of opposing factions, a rebellion of House Republican moderates — including San Antonio’s Will Hurd — could force Congress to try again. Their gambit, which ran headlong into a counterattack by conservatives using the fight to derail a major farm bill last week, is just a few votes short of a majority that could trigger a series of votes offering hope to beneficiaries of the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. With next week’s weeklong Memorial Day recess looming, several GOP factions are scrambling for advantage in an intramural battle that has momentarily sidelined immigrant activists who are normally at the center of the DACA debate. It also has raised Hurd’s national profile.
