Congress Makes Last Minute Push on Immigration
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, the Washington Post reports.
Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) 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.
Meanwhile, Sens. Michael F. Bennet (D-CO) and Mike Crapo (R-ID) are negotiating on a narrower bill based on a House-passed measure that provided a pathway to citizenship for some undocumented farmworkers.
