Senate negotiators have reached a bipartisan immigration framework that provides a path to citizenship for 2 million DACA recipients in exchange for $25 billion in border security funding.
Deal Components
- DACA recipients: 10-year path to citizenship
- Border security: $25 billion for technology and personnel
- Asylum reform: 180-day processing requirement
- E-Verify mandate for employers with 50+ employees
The compromise has drawn criticism from both flanks — immigration advocates say the border funding is excessive, while restrictionists oppose any path to citizenship. Passage requires 60 Senate votes.
