Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : An example of the kind of initiative they'd like to include is the "Remain in Mexico" policy Donald Trump implemented during his first term, which required asylum-seekers to stay south of the border while the U.S. considered their applications.
57% : Immigration reform is near the top of the GOP priority list.
46% : But history tells us that both parties' assumptions around political alignments and how long they will persist more often than not have been wrong.
44% : Republicans reportedly are mulling overriding those rules in order to pass immigration reform on a strictly partisan basis.
31% : And the discussions ought to be expanded to include reasonable provisions to solve the Dreamers' dilemma, which Trump said in December he'd like to address.
29% : Trump intends to reinstate that policy by executive order soon after he takes office for his second term, but some Republicans worry that a future Democratic president simply will scotch the policy, as Joe Biden did early in his presidency.
