As 2025 approaches, Republicans are signaling their intentions for a targeted federal hiring surge and streamlined processes for both hiring and firing within the government. House and Senate conservatives are uniting behind a two-step approach to enact the Trump agenda, with a significant focus on immigration reform. The Senate GOP is prioritizing border security, proposing a substantial crackdown with an aim for mass deportations to begin early in the year. Furthermore, GOP lawmakers are drafting legislation that ties border security measures to rights for Dreamers. Amidst these plans, some party members express concerns about potential challenges, with tax lobbyists warning that upcoming border legislation could disrupt broader reform efforts. Conservative leaders are pushing for these initiatives to genuinely contribute to reducing the national debt and addressing crucial immigration issues, laying out a roadmap for their first 100 days in office.
