WASHINGTON – A deal on changes to immigration policy remained elusive on Tuesday for top U.S. Senate negotiators.
Those leading the talks – Sens. James Lankford, Republican of Oklahoma, Chris Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, and Kyrsten Sinema, independent of Arizona – have worked for weeks to strike a deal between the White House and Senate Republicans on immigration policy changes at the U.S. southern border.
Congress was on a break for the holidays but returned this week.
“Everybody’s still at the table talking, so that’s a good thing,” Lankford said, adding that he’s hoping there can be bill text later this week.
Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer of New York said that negotiations on an immigration deal have made progress.
“We’re going to be persistent,” Schumer said. “We’re closer today to an agreement than we have ever been.”
