On Wednesday, Sen. McConnell said, “Our upcoming debate on DACA, border security, and other issues will be a process that is fair to all sides. The bill I move to, which will not have underlying immigration text, will have an amendment process that will ensure a level playing field at the outset.”
Last month, the White House released an immigration framework that included a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million undocumented young immigrants. In exchange, Pres. Trump wanted a $25 billion fund for the border wall. The Trump administration called its proposal a dramatic concession because it covers a broader population.
