Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) proposed a list of common principles that Republicans and Democrats could unite around to get immigration reform passed.
In an appearance on Fox News, Khanna said that"nothing has been done" regarding immigration reform since legislation passed under the Reagan administration. The California Democrat accepted that there was a crisis at the southern border, and said that more funding was needed to hire judges and immigration officers.
The California representative drew a line in what Democrats would accept, ruling out provisions such as a border wall or defunding non-government organizations working at the border. "We will support increased funding for immigration judges to quickly process things; we will support better technology and security on the border," he added."So, why not come up with a compromise there?"
