In her remarks, Sinema expressed her disappointment at ending the session without a deal, saying lawmakers from both parties chose to "retreat to its partisan corners" rather than to familiarize themselves with the issues along the U.S.-Mexico border and taking action to solve them.

"That's why when we come back to Congress in January, one of the first things I'll do with Senator Tillis is convene a bipartisan group of senators who are willing and committed to get something done," Sinema said. "We're going to bring them to the border. We're going to see what Arizonans see every single day, because a crisis this big should not and cannot be ignored."

Either way, I'm dusting off these dating profiles because if they could not pass immigration reform when the Dems controlled both chambers, I'm not sure how they expect to do so with the Republicans in control of the House.

We will gauge the GOP-led house's stance on immigration when they reveal their own immigration bills at the start of next year. I am willing to bet they will be solely about enforcement.

“I’m not optimistic,” said Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), who previously raised concerns about the Title 42 extension and other provisions in the Sinema-Tillis framework. A group of three House Democrats also spoke out against the proposal.
