now, Democrats say they’re waiting on the White House to send over a list of legislative priorities the administration would like to see in any final deal. Several Democrats said they were rattled by the leak of a White House document last week that included many hard-line immigration ideas Democrats would never support.

But a Democratic aide later said the plan, written by White House adviser Stephen Miller, an immigration hardliner, is believed to have been drafted before Trump had dinner with Schumer and Pelosi on Sept. 13.

Pelosi reached out to White House Chief of Staff John Kelly after the document surfaced. The White House is expected to send out its list of priorities sometime this week.

Quote:
The legislation’s chief authors, GOP Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina and James Lankford of Oklahoma, have been speaking quietly to GOP leadership and plan to meet with Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois — an influential Democrat on immigration policy — to discuss the issue. The Senate Judiciary Committee will also hold a hearing Tuesday on DACA with several administration officials on immigration policy and enforcement.


Bipartisanship on the issue isn’t nonexistent in the House. The Problem Solvers Caucus, a group of several dozen centrist Republicans and Democrats, is working on legislation codifying Trump’s framework with Democratic leaders.
Quote:
Rep. Martha McSally, an Arizona Republican whose district is near the border, is taking the lead crafting the Problem Solvers’ border-security piece of the equation. Their bill, said caucus member Curbelo, will likely include a pathway to citizenship and not conservative demands for E-Verify or an enforcement crackdown.

Asked if he really thought House Republicans could back a bipartisan solution, Curbelo said yes.

But perhaps not without some posturing first. “I think people on both sides are going to try to get as much as they can,” Curbelo said.

"If [Illinois Democrat] Mr. Luis Gutiérrez, my friend I’ve been coordinating with, had his way, he’d have the Hope Act and have millions of people legalized tomorrow,” he said. “I told him I’m for that, too, but that’s probably not realistic — just like Republicans who want to fund the entire wall project or demand aggressive interior enforcement.”

Those demands, Curbelo continued, could tank the entire thing: “That’s why I tell people: ‘Let’s not get too ambitious. Let’s take care of these young people who are at risk now.’”

There's no way to please "a majority of the republicans" in the house. There are so many intraparty factions.

The hardliners want too much, and they feel like the Democrats want too much with citizenship.

Ryan can't bring anything to a vote on immigration because of this.

I'm counting on a bill passage and POTUS signing it into law as my Christmas Present.

I think one of the two senators that introduced SUCCEED Act, a harsh bill that will give us pseudo protections. It requires us to sign waivers giving up some rights if passed.

That shit is going nowhere, not with the unconstitutional provisions.

Durbin will not alter the DA to allow for us to sign away our rights. I can see Dems amending the Dream Act to require the entry age to be 16 instead of 18, and adding in the extra background check. That may get Hatch and his buddies onboard.
