A negotiation tactic. I highly doubt, in all seriousness, that Senate Democrats in particular are going to greenlight legalization for anyone who came to US by Jan 1 2021 and was under 18. Manchin / Sinema, in their bid to trim the overall budget number, will lead Dems to narrow down the immigration provision among other things.
Clearly, Dems have indicated that this isn't going anywhere without Parliamentarian's blessings. Whether legalization as a concept is allowed in a budget bill is the main question.
