"@SenatorMenendez
said that if Dems are not able to get a pathway to citizenship through the reconciliation process, "I don't think we would find a pathway forward” on immigration. He said based on negotiations w/ Republicans, he didn't see 10 votes to overcome a filibuster. “The Republicans of 2021 are not the same Republicans I worked w/ in 2013," @SenatorMenendez said, referencing comprehensive effort. "They've learned from ex-President Donald Trump that xenophobia is a potent political tool, and they want to preserve it for the campaign season.”"
If the parliamentarian strikes it down they need to overrule her, just like the GOP Senate did back in 2001 under Trent Lott for tax cuts. Hard part is convincing Manchin and Sinema. |
