Republican lawmakers are plotting a major overhaul of immigration law and border restrictions.

The GOP faces major political hurdles down every possible path for enacting the illegal immigration crackdown that was one of their big election promises.

Immigration hardliners and those Republicans who have raised concerns about far-reaching restrictions on asylum or deportations are at odds over just how far to go on border security issues.

Earlier attempts at immigration changes have failed in budget reconciliation.

Democrats made multiple tries at getting reforms like extending work permits and providing temporary protection from deportation for certain undocumented immigrants included in their own reconciliation package in 2021 .

The Senate parliamentarian ruled that they didn’t comply with the budget rules because they were “substantial policy chances”.
