House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) said Friday at Hollywoods Creativity Conference in Washington that there is a grand bargain in the works on amnesty. ABC Newss Rick Klein Tweeted that Goodlatte told ABC reporter Jon Karl at the event that he is still searching for grand bargain on status of undocumented immigrants, and that Goodlatte does believe it will happen. Klein noted the comments came at the second annual Creativity Conference, an event hosted by the Motion Picture Association of America. The MPAA, which is run by former Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT), is hosting the event alongside Microsoft at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. Microsoft has lobbied for amnesty, and endorsed the Senates Gang of Eight immigration bill last year. Its headquarters is in the district of House GOP conference chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who recently suggested there is a plan to bring immigration bills to the floor by August that would provide legal status to millions of illegal aliens. Goodlattes role on immigration is crucial. His committee has jurisdiction over the matter. Goodlatte, however, would not predict during the interview when such amnesty legislation would pass. "My job isnt to predict when its going to happen. My job is to build the consensus that we need to have immigration reform, Goodlatte said. Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), an opponent of amnesty aligned with Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Tweeted in response to Goodlatte that he was cutting a deal with President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. "A 'grand bargain' w/ Reid & WH = amnesty," Vitter Tweeted.
