Press Secretary, White House, Sarah Sanders said after decades of "inaction" by Congress the time has come to work together to solve the issue once and for all.
She said the White House had earlier sent Congress a list of the core reforms necessary to fix the US' immigration system.
These reforms were assembled in coordination with frontline law enforcement officers and career public servants who know what is necessary to keep America safe, Sanders said.
Sanders said the framework is agreed-upon four pillars of securing the border and closing legal loopholes, ending extended-family chain migration, cancelling the visa lottery and providing a permanent solution on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
The White House will release the legislative framework on Monday.
"We encourage the Senate to bring it to the floor," Sanders told reporters at her daily news conference.
