For Star subscribers: Sen. Kyrsten Sinema has launched a new effort to reform immigration laws is with a different Republican partner. It probably should pass, but if history is a guide, it won't.
Tim Steller It's always tempting to compare people making immigration-reform proposals to Lucy Van Pelt holding the football for Charlie Brown to kick.
People are also reading… Sinema spokeswoman Hannah Hurley told me these components are not"hard and fast," but the main planks of the draft proposal so far are: The framework as it exists now leaves completely aside the millions of people living in the country illegally who are not eligible for DACA, either because they came to the country as adults or for another reason. Overall, it gives conservatives a lot of what they want while giving liberals one thing they really want: citizenship for DACA recipients.
After that, there were efforts at comprehensive immigration reform in 2006, 2007 and 2013. Remember John McCain's involvement, or the so-called Gang of Eight? Always, Republicans in one chamber or the other scotched the bill.
