They should put politics aside and focus on dealing with the issue. It will be good for the entire country.

The "waiver of the 10 year ban + work authorization + ability to travel" was the deal the Republicans wanted to pass in 2013. It was to be a non - immigrant thing, but you could convert via marriage. That died when Eric Cantor lost. Instead, people pressured Obama for a better deal than they could have gotten with the Republican house.
Kelly wants to speed up deportations so people stop coming. You would not pay someone your life savings if you were caught and dumped back in your country in 6 months. Speeding up deportation of people with existing orders, have been in the US or a couple of years, and getting asylum cases taken care of in 6 months instead of 6 years is probably more likely.
I think Kelly will put Dreamers at the bottom of his list.
