The newly selected chairman will also be tasked with drafting a new version of H.R. 2, an aggressive immigration crackdown bill that passed the House but did not get called up for a vote in the Democrat-controlled Senate last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3478067\/epstein-drama-puts-key-house-votes-on-ice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">EPSTEIN DRAMA PUTS KEY HOUSE VOTES ON ICE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The New York Republican&rsquo;s selection is a win for centrist Republicans.
