Bipartisan immigration deal before Christmas?

[BabyBoomer50s]

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis and Democrat Kyrsten Sinema are negotiating an immigration compromise they hope to pass before the 117th Congress adjourns. The deal includes:

- A path to citizenship for Dreamers
- A one-year extension of Title 42, which makes it easier to remove illegal border crossers
- Up to $40 billion to fund border security and reduce the backlog of asylum claimants

I can back all of those things besides Sinema being a Democrat.

Title 42 is being misused and should be terminated. If you wish to reduce the flow of migrations, using a disease that is mostly under control in this country is a farce.

Funding is too low and priority should be on adding court administrators/lawyers/judges and a reformation of that process. We're not a few weeks behind here.... we literally have years of backlogs.

Biden hasn’t lifted the state of emergency so apparently he thinks it’s still an emergency

I think it's a good thing in the long run. All those illegal immigrants will no longer be "immigrants" and therefore entitled to "sanctuary."

I wouldn’t say there’s absolutely zero chance…….

Probably .000000001 chance.

It’s political theater from Tillis and Sinema to pad their “reasonable / moderate” Bona Fides and LOOK like they’re working on the issue.

There is no way the republicans eliminate the one issue that keeps their MAGAt base foaming at the mouth.

This bill is DOA and is just waiting for a toe tag.
