IMMIGRATION: Freshman Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) will roll out a proposal this morning to provide a framework for addressing the situation at the border that can appeal to both parties.

As you might remember, Salazar attended a Republican Study Committee meeting last month, where she and former Trump administration adviser Stephen Miller got into a back and forth over how the GOP should seek to attract hispanic voters. (Flashback: “I told him that the GOP needs to attract the browns.”)

Senior Republican aides tell me she will focus on five key areas in her plan, which Salazar hopes can be a starting point for Congress overhauling the immigration system, especially since it looks increasingly unlikely President Joe Biden has the votes to push his comprehensive immigration bill through both chambers in its current form.

The five areas: 1-Border security, 2-Asylum Reform, 3-Protection for Dreamers, 4-Practical solutions for undocumented and guest workers, 5-An economic relief component for American workers.

Pray our lawmakers would have wisdom to solve the problem with our current immigration crisis!
