That is the hope but if the Parliamentarian is just going to make up random rules and those random rules are now within the Parliamentarian's power to reject bills, then no one can pass a bill via Reconciliation because the Parliamentarian can keep making up random rules (unless of course the Parliamentarian wants a bill to pass).
The only way the Parliamentarian should be able to reject immigration or any bill for that matter is if it doesn't have anything to do with the budget and the Parliamentarian didn't do that. The Parliamentarian rejected based off a new rule "bipartisan"ship that doesn't exist in the Byrd rule.
Imagine a judge walks up to you in a restaurant, say you're under arrest, you say for what? Judge says because your name started with an V and ends with a 8. You say "but there's no such law" and the judge says it doesn't matter you're going to jail because I just thought of this new law. How does that make any sense?
