Senate Republicans angling for bipartisan immigration legislation say they’re optimistic that a deal can be struck soon, but it will come down to how much President Donald Trump is willing to compromise on his own wish list.

At a White House meeting with GOP senators Thursday, Trump said lawmakers have “a good shot” at getting legislation to his desk that he’ll sign.
