The hope of reaching an agreement in the Senate for an immigration reform is extinguished

Negotiations in the Senate to reach a bipartisan agreement for immigration reform seem doomed to failure due to the lack of agreement in the last days of the legislature, and before the Republican Party takes control of the House of Representatives (the Senate). will continue with a Democratic majority) in January, according to the news network CBS News.

Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema (who was a Democrat until last week and is now an Independent) and North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis wrote a proposal that would open the path to citizenship for the hundreds of thousands of migrants who came to the country illegally. being children hand in hand with their parents (known as dreamers), in exchange for reinforcing security on the border with Mexico, among other issues.

The initiative sought to allocate at least 25,000 million dollars more to the Border Patrol budget and to extend Title 42 for at least one more year, the measure activated by the Administration of former President Donald Trump in March 2020 to expel the majority of applicants for asylum seekers who cross the border hiding behind the COVID-19 pandemic.

Title 42 will expire on December 21 by court order, and federal authorities fear that the arrival of migrants will double from that day.

One of the electoral promises of the president, Joe Biden, was a legal reform that would solve the immigration status of a large part of the 11 million people who live in the United States illegally.

Of those, nearly 700,000 Dreamers are temporarily protected from deportation and can work thanks to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, approved in 2012 by former President Barack Obama.

But the future of DACA is uncertain.

In early October, an appeals court ruled in favor of maintaining the program, but backed barring new applicants from enrolling, even if they qualify.

The final decision on the program remains in the courts.

In parallel to the congressional negotiation on the future of the Dreamers, which now appears to have failed, Sens. Michael F. Bennet, D-Col., and Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, are negotiating a proposal that would grant citizenship to undocumented farmworkers. , in line with a bill approved by the House of Representatives.

The negotiations are being complicated, however, by the record numbers of arrivals at the border.

Fiscal year 2022 closed on September 30 with 2.76 million migrants intercepted, mainly due to an increase in

 Cubans and Nicaraguans, according to federal authorities.

In addition, the government is considering other possible heavy-handed measures, some inspired by policies of former President Donald Trump.
