WASHINGTON _ Republican and Democratic senators struggling to find some sort of compromise to help migrant children agree on a lot of points.
They're willing to nearly double the number of immigration judges to 700. Senators would make it easier for immigrants to get legal help. And they're OK with minimum standards for care in detention centers.
But none of that is going to be debated at the Capitol, let alone become law. Despite weeks of closed-door talks by a group of four senators, two from each party, there's little if any prospect for a deal anytime soon.
