If the matter is once entered on. of course the Chair can not interrupt the proceedings. The parliamentary situation is this: The Committee on Appro. priations have the right of way. and if they make the motion. then the House has got to pass upon it and determine whether it will go into Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union or not. If the motion is not made. or if the motion is negatived. then the business on the Speakers table will be in order. and the immigration bill is one of the pieces of business on the Speakers table.
