Allow asylum applications to be made from consulates and embassies outside the US, instead of ONLY in the US and at border crossings. Right now asylum seekers at San Diego crossings are stuck in Tijuana, the single most dangerous city in the world. 
End the travel bans.
End for-profit companies from operating detention facilities.
Prosecute companies hiring undocumented workers--as Jake Tapper pointed out yesterday when interviewing the head of CBP, NO companies were prosecuted in 2018 for hiring undocumented workers. NONE. 
Guest worker visas--when the abrazo program ended years ago, CBP predicted an increase in illegal border crossings. 
Stop the "invasion" hype. I have a SIL who listens to OneAmerica (the new Fox News, apparently) and insists the number of illegal crossings is 400,00 a day. If that were the case, we would have had a 146 million population increase in the last 12 months. 
Own up to the history of US policies in Central America as a major contributing factor in the region's problems (and the fact that to the extent drugs are being brought in, they are going to US consumers).

I would like to hear more specifics from both sides about ideas for immigration reform--there have been many bipartisan attempts in the past 20 years, all of which have collapsed over partisan politics including racism.

The history of the Mexican border as a region for illegal border crossing AND human smugglers originated in the 1920s--back when the illegal immigrants were Jews. Interesting bit of history I only recently learned about.

There have been a number of well-publicized cases about people whose deportations had been stayed for years with the condition the individuals report regularly to immigration officials, only to be taken into custody recently and deported.

Require the US to monitor the fate of asylum seekers not granted asylum status and returned to other countries. This would be a requirement in any agreement with other countries to accept deportees.
