tl;dr summary:

+ Democrats gearing up to pass Dream Act like bill for Dreamers prior to January 2023
+ Senate currently working on the legislation
+ Many retiring GOP members positive to Immigration legislation
+ Title 42 on the table where GOP want it continued
+Border security on the table
+ GOP ran on Border security during midterms and have a need to show their base they can fix it. Even Ted Cruz stated he's open to negotiations.

+ John Cornyn was heard off mic talking to Kyrsten Sinema that he wanted to work on immigration. Both are from border states, where they feel the brunt of border crossings. He already has a bill "Bipartisan Border Solutions Act" that he wants to pass.

+ Trump backed anti-immigration candidates overwhelmingly lost. GOP is soul searching and might lean more to the center from hard right.

- Durbin only has 4-5 GOP Senate votes secured
- GOP want to wait until Georgia senate runoff results for leverage

Hopefully Lisa Murkowski and Warnock win their re-election.
