Quote:

The core of the deal is border security funding of at least $25 billion and upwards of $40 billion combined with a pathway to citizenship for two million illegal immigrants either protected by, or eligible for protection by, the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

the proposal would also keep Title 42 in place for a year, with metric components in place for an extension.

Other border security elements would include hiring more Border Patrol agents as well as pay increases, and the creation of regional processing centers to surge resources at the border and judge asylum claims. It would also include resources for detention, deportation and greater use of expedited removal.

A summary document, obtained by Fox, goes into greater detail about what the plan would include -- specifically that it would set a minimum staffing level at 20,500 Border Patrol agents and would raise pay for agents -- who have been at the frontlines of the border crisis since it started in early 2021-- by 14 percent.

It would also hire an additional 600 officers annually for Customs and Border Protection (CBP)’s Office of Field Operations (OFO) who staff the ports of entry, who would be relied on more under the proposal. The bill also would "make investments" in U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officers and immigration judges and courts -- which have been facing significant backlogs.

On the pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients and DACA-eligible illegal immigrants, it would cap eligibility for those who have been in the U.S. since 2018, were under 18 when they arrived and were no older than 38 in 2012.

But the framework also includes a provision on legal immigration to "recapture" green cards from past fiscal years. This would take the difference between the number of green cards authorized by Congress and the number actually given out for each year and make that number of green cards automatically available.

It is unclear what support the bill may have, particularly given the tight timeframe before the new Congress. House Republican leadership have ruled out any form of "amnesty," and the bill has already seen opposition from Republicans in the Senate. It is also unclear how many Democrats will agree to the border security measures, in exchange for a relatively limited citizenship pathway --

"This is going to give them a path and it's not automatic. They're going to have to work and maintain those highest standards. And for that, we get a closed border and we shut down the cartels. That seems to me like something worth working on."

There is a provision to BAR all TPS recipients from getting green cards in Tillis/Sinema - would be interesting to see the details on it. Is it really blanket bar for TPS recipients?

Selfishly, I would like Dreamers to get green cards at whatever the cost, but I can see how democrats in the house will balk at this and create an issue. Nobody is asking Tillis-Sinema to grant pathway to citizenship for TPS, but to actively bar them from getting it in future is weird.

Again, details required.

This bill is the best change we have at getting anything done in 3 years. Next year is going to go back to a Republican shit show in the house.

I'm surprised of how the fox news anchors went about this interview, saying that the majority or republicans support the daca population and even trump, also dismissing cotton, is almost as if they really want to help us lol

Once again, arbitrary dates. Clearly they haven't learned from the first time. Why not just offer a pathway to citizenship to everyone who came as minors.

This is getting veeery interesting. Something is definitely different this time.

Border Patrol Union - NBPC
@BPUnion
Rumors and preemptive attacks against us have been making the rounds recently saying NBPC is "selling out" for amnesty, which is ridiculous. We're willing to work with Senators Sinema, Tillis and anyone else who wants to end the current border crisis.
