When was the last time a conservative proposed such a thing?

Bush43 and...Trump45. A deal was close until Diane Feinstein blew it up:

“You talk about comprehensive reform,” Trump said. “If we do the right bill here, we are not very far away [from that]. . . . And if you want to take that further step, I don’t care. I’ll take the heat.”

Trump’s expressed openness to broader reform was surprising, given his anti-immigrant rhetoric during the presidential campaign. He also hedged on his past demands for a wall spanning the entire U.S.-Mexico border, noting that parts of the border have natural barriers.

Trump told the lawmakers that he trusted them to reach a good bipartisan agreement. “When this group comes back, hopefully with an agreement,” he said, “I’m signing it. I’m not going to be saying, ‘Oh, gee, I want this or I want that.’ I’ll be signing it. Because I have a lot of confidence in the people in this room.”

And then...Feinstein shot for the moon, and blew it all up.

Any attempt to immigration reform for the past 20 years (or more) gets nowhere.

Why do you think that is? The democrats never propose anything besides mass amnesty or rapid paths to citizenship for those who've jumped the line.
