Tom Homan, a known anti-illegal immigration hard-liner, has been chosen by Donald Trump to oversee a proposed mass deportation campaign in his second term. Homan, who previously served as the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is unapologetic about controversial policies such as family separation. Trump's selection of Homan reflects a focus on immigration policies that resonate with his supporters, with Stephen Miller also playing a key role in the administration's immigration efforts. Homan's advocacy for family separation as a deterrent measure has been met with criticism, and his appointment signals a continuation of strict immigration enforcement measures.

The article discusses plans by Donald Trump's allies to target legal immigration, reintroducing controversial policies from his first term to limit the entry of migrants. These plans, developed by advisers like Stephen Miller, aim to restrict legal ways to migrate, potentially affecting businesses hiring foreign workers.

The Biden administration has reversed many of Trump's restrictions on legal immigration, but tensions persist over the impact of immigrants on the job market and American society.

The article discusses a bipartisan bill released by Senate leaders that aims to reduce illegal border crossings and provide aid to Ukraine and Israel. The bill includes a new asylum process at the border to expedite case resolutions and deportations for migrants who do not qualify. It also establishes new limits on the number of immigrants claiming asylum to prevent the system from becoming overwhelmed. The bill allocates funds for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, U.S. border changes, and humanitarian aid in war zones. However, the bill faces opposition from top House Republicans who believe it has no chance of passing in their chamber. President Biden supports the bill, calling it the "toughest and fairest set of border reforms in decades." The bill reflects Republican priorities and does not include Democratic demands for a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers. The prospects for the bill are uncertain, with former President Trump criticizing any compromise. The bill will first be voted on in the Senate, and if it passes, it will move to the House. The bill contains various changes to the border operations and how migrants are handled, with the aim of ending the practice of "catch and release." It establishes a new process for rapid processing of migrants, either detaining them or releasing them with monitoring devices. The bill also limits the use of humanitarian parole and provides funding for detention beds, border patrol agents, and deportation officers. It includes several smaller fixes to the legal immigration system but does not provide help for Dreamers. The bill also addresses the illicit fentanyl [Extracted from the article]

Top Democrats and Republicans are both supporting tighter restrictions at the southern border to address illegal immigration, but this consensus is unlikely to result in a bipartisan deal due to the pressures of the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Republican lawmakers are motivated by Donald Trump's hard-line immigration policy, which they see as crucial to their party's message. Democrats, on the other hand, are facing the reality of record crossings at the border and the negative public opinion towards President Biden's handling of the issue. The Senate is preparing to release a deal on border controls, but some Republicans are now hesitant to support it, potentially jeopardizing its passage. [Extracted from the article]
