South Carolina Republican Rep. Jeff Duncan is dropping his co-sponsorship of an immigration bill House Republicans have been quietly working to include in the upcoming Department of Defense authorization bill, saying the language should never have been considered to be added to the unrelated measure.

Late Wednesday, Duncan said he hadn't been aware of efforts by the bill's author, California Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA), to add the language to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) – and that if it were added, "NDAA would lose my vote as well."

At issue is a proposal to allow so-called DREAMers to obtain permanent legal residency by joining the military.

Sophomore Republican Rep. Jeff Denham of California, a close ally of GOP Whip Kevin McCarthy, is leading the push to add the text of his "ENLIST Act" to the NDAA, which could come to the House floor as early as next month.

Duncan is the first of 42 co-sponsors to rescind his support since Breitbart News reported of the effort to add the proposal to the NDAA bill. The secretive effort has set off a panic among top immigration hawks that inclusion of the language could open an immigration Pandora's box, paving the way for a broader immigration bill.
