(CNN) -
House conservatives on Friday blocked a narrow immigration reform measure, showing how hard it is an election year for the GOP-led chamber to make even small changes to the nation's immigration laws.
And this proposal was from a fellow Republican.
Rep. Jeff Denham of California pushed to add his proposal that would allow young people brought into the country illegally to join the military and gain legal status to annual defense legislation.
But conservatives revolted, arguing the measure amounted to "amnesty." They warned leaders its inclusion would jeopardize passage of the defense measure.
Although he is a co-sponsor of Denham's bill, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon, a California Republican, said in a written statement that he would not include the proposal as part of the defense legislation he will unveil next month.
Pressed if he decided conservative opposition on the immigration issue would have defeated the defense bill, McKeon waved off the questions.
"I'm not going to talk any more about this right now," he said.
Denham, who served in the U.S. Air Force with immigrants in the first Iraq war, lashed out at those in his own party who were aggressively working against his bill.
"I'm very frustrated to hear controversy from members who have never served their country and don't understand the impact that immigrants have had on our freedoms," Denham said.

A prominent immigration reform advocate and community organizer from Las Vegas who has helped influence Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid garnered more national recognition this week.
The American Immigration Councils Immigrant Youth Achievement Award winner is Astrid Silva, an organizer for the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada.
Silva has been on of the most visible faces of Las Vegas immigration reform movement, going public with her undocumented status before getting a work permit through the deferred action for childhood arrivals program.
"We are overwhelmed with pride that Astrid is receiving this much-deserved national recognition," Bob Fulkerson, state director for PLAN, said in a statement. "Not a day goes by that Astrid does not impress us with her tenacity, selflessness and the impossible amount of infectious joy she brings to organizing, despite she and her family living the heart-breaking realities of our broken immigration system every single day."
Reid shared Silvas story last year on the Senate floor while arguing for the passage of a sweeping immigration reform bill.
"When comprehensive immigration reform finally passes, it will be because of organizers like Astrid who wouldn't take no for an answer," Laura Martin, communications director for PLAN, said in a statement. "Astrid could have quietly gone on to fix her own status, but she selflessly uses her story to motivate community members across the state to take action and make the case for comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship."
