A bipartisan duo of senators are reviving negotiations for a potential deal on immigration reform — including providing legal status for 2 million Dreamers — with the hope they can tackle the issue before the new Congress takes effect next year.
A pathway to citizenship for two million Dreamers — undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.
Roughly $25 billion-$40 billion in increased funding for Border Patrol and border security, including a commitment to hiring more agents and increasing their pay. An extension of Title 42 until a formal plan is in place to stop an expected surge of migrants at the border. The law would remain in effect for at least a year, while processing centers are set up.The talks are still in the very early stages, and the draft framework will likely be modified to include input from other members, two sources familiar with the negotiations tell Axios.
Their hope is to get enough support — at least 10-12 GOP senators, Axios is told — for a larger, collaborative deal in the coming days, before a federal judge forces border officials to stop using Title 42 on Dec. 21.The duo is up against an onslaught of must-pass legislation that Congress is preoccupied with for the rest of the month, including national defense funding and a government spending bill that are top priorities for both the House and Senate.
That leaves little time to tackle immigration reform before Congress breaks for the holiday recess on Dec. 22."People are talking and that's a good thing," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters.
