The proposed bill, that is still being negotiated in the Senate, would provide a permanent status for "Dreamers", increase Border Patrol funding and extend Title 42 which expires this month....

A handful of bipartisan senators are working to strike separate 11th-hour immigration deals before Republicans take control of the House in January and make the politically tricky agreements even harder to reach.

Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) have outlined a potential immigration proposal that would provide a path to legalization for 2 million undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children, known as “dreamers,” in exchange for at least $25 billion in increased funding for the Border Patrol and border security. The bipartisan framework, which is in flux, would also extend Title 42 for at least a year until new “regional processing centers” provided for in the bill could be built, according to a Senate aide. The Trump administration instituted Title 42 during the coronavirus pandemic, arguing that the immediate expulsion of migrants was necessary because of the public health crisis.

2 million people who no longer have to wonder if the country they were raised in will some day deport them.

Once again, Congress fails to address immigration....and the will of the American people:
"A post-election survey of 1,500 voters in four battleground states, including Arizona, conducted by the Global Stategy Group and published on Monday showed that 69% of respondents supported a compromise bill that would create a pathway for citizenship for Dreamers while boosting border security investments. About 23% of respondents said they would oppose it."


A last-ditch effort by Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema to provide an estimated 2 million undocumented youth with legal status in exchange for stronger border security measures failed to gain enough support in the U.S. Senate to reach the 60-vote threshold needed to advance legislation.

"Look, we all know that the situation on the border is untenable," Sinema told Phoenix radio station KTAR on Thursday morning. "We know that it's about to get worse as Title 42 ends due to a court order next week."

Immigration advocates praised the pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, but criticized extending Title 42 for an additional year. Critics, meanwhile, labeled the agreement as amnesty, despite the border security provision in the bill.

...and with the GOP taking over the House in 2023, there is absolutely zero chance of any immigration bill passing over the next two years. Republicans prefer to exploit illegal immigration for political purposes, rather than take action to address it.
