One of those bills is the enticingly bipartisan Uniting and Securing America Act of 2018, which addresses what to do with DACA recipients - the millions of illegal immigrants given temporary legal status under President Obama.
Here are four things you need to know about the bill.
Well, the USA 2018 Act turns that kind of thinking on its head. Under this bill, a "Child" who is minutes away from her 18th birthday can be brought illegally into this country by her parents and qualify for conditional permanent resident status.
At first blush, the requirements for receiving conditional permanent resident status in the bill look solid, especially the part about no convictions for certain serious offenses.
Domestic violence is an offense that disqualifies an individual from receiving conditional permanent resident status.
An alien in the state of Utah who has been convicted of this violent felony can produce evidence that he was in foster care due to child abuse or neglect and - poof - his conviction is null and void for the purposes of conditional permanent resident status.
Aliens who caught felonies as juveniles, and who have had those felonies expunged, are also allowed conditional permanent resident status.
Qualifying aliens are granted renewable eight-year periods of conditional permanent resident status.
The time spent in conditional status counts toward the five years to citizenship.
To qualify for a hardship exception, an alien must demonstrate that he or she is a full-time caregiver of a minor child, or that his or her removal would constitute an extreme hardship for a spouse, parent or child with legal status.
If you look at the much more comprehensive Harvard-Harris poll from January, you see that there are conditions under which Americans want these immigrants to remain in the U.S. Like the CNN poll, the Harvard-Harris poll shows that the great majority of Americans want immigrants brought here illegally as children to receive work permits and a path to citizenship.
What the Harvard-Harris poll also shows is that the majority of Americans want some other things to go along with that: an end to chain migration, secure borders, a wall, and an end to the visa lottery.
