A handful of bipartisan senators are working to strike separate 11th-hour immigration deals before Republicans take over the House in January and make the politically tricky agreements even harder to reach.
Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Thom Tillis have outlined a potential immigration proposal that would provide a path to legalization for 2 million undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, known as “Dreamers,” in exchange for at least $25 billion in increased funding for the Border Patrol and border security.
The centers would mirror what is outlined in the Bipartisan Border Solutions Act, a bicameral deal proposed in 2021, and would hold migrants while they have their immigration cases heard and adjudicated more quickly, to replace the current process in which many asylum seekers are released and given a full court hearing, which can be months or years in the future. A federal judge in the District of Columbia last month ordered the government to stop expelling migrants under Title 42 by Dec. 21.
Including the Title 42 provision in a possible immigration framework could entice Republicans who have publicly slammed the Biden administration for no longer enforcing it as a way to stem the rising number of undocumented immigrants entering the United States.Some senators remains skeptical that a House Republican majority could actually strike a deal on immigration, since the House was unable to pass a compromise bill in 2018 after outrage from the right flank of the conference.
