Democrats’ Bid to Include Immigration Change in Budget Package Again Rejected - Page 9

Someone invoke the conjuring nun to take care of her ass.

Would this ‘parole in place’ garbage get rid of the ban if one gets paroled and leaves this shithole country ?

When asked about the parliamentarian's ruling, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said members of Congress "have indicated that they are committed to getting immigration reform done."

Congress has struggled to pass immigration reform for decades, with the last major reform passed in 1986.

The last comprehensive bill, sponsored by a group of bipartisan senators, was brought up in 2013, where it passed in the Senate but died in the House.

Earlier this year, the House passed two bills that would provide a pathway to citizenship for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a program that allows undocumented people brought to the country as children to stay, and for farmworkers. Neither bill has been brought up by the Senate.

Psaki said that Congress will likely have to look at what other options are available to get immigration reform passed.

"We are committed to getting immigration reform done," she said. "This, I expect, would renew a look for what the vehicles and options may be.”

Immigration advocates expressed disappointment with the parliamentarian's decision, but many are still pressuring Democrats to include a pathway of citizenship for undocumented immigrants in the final bill.

"We call on our Democratic champions to explore every option, from a new plan to legalize millions to ways to sidestep the parliamentarian’s advisory opinion," Frank Sharry, executive director for America's Voice, said in a statement. "Democrats are in the majority. They have the power to get this done. We beseech them to use every ounce of their power to deliver on their promise.”

Bruna Sollod, communication's director for United We Dream, said that reconciliation is the top option for getting immigration reform passed, as Republicans aren't coming to the table to work on bipartisan legislation. Sollard, who is a DACA recipient, noted that she wants to see Democrats continue to include immigration in the reconciliation package regardless of the parliamentarian's rulings.

"The question right now is what's the Democratic Party?" she said. "Are they the party of citizenship or are they the party that will continue to deny citizenship for millions of immigrants?"

Democrats want to give as many people as possible a path towards citizenship and it’s not possible. It’s either the DACA recipients or nothing. At the same time they can’t pass anything for the dreamera because then the flood of parents dumping their kids at the border will get even worse.

I’d probably suggest putting a cut off year too. Maybe 2010 or something close to that.

The disinformation in latin american countries is rampant, cut off or not. People will show up. I hate to say this but until democrat come out with a strong border security plan, nothing will ever pass.

Theres a new wave of 16k haitins on their way to the border again, because they heard tomorrow is the last day of title 42.

Parlamentarian's opinion is 'advice', not a ruling. Senate leader can overrule. She is more concerned about immigrants getting safety and protection, you know treated like humans, vs the economic impact.

Crying Chuck will only cry

I have a hard time trusting Chuck and fighting for us. Ever since he said “Dreamers can’t occupy the entire stage” it has made me realize that he’s not serious about finding real solutions for us.

Chuck Schumer is the problem

Imagine if Moscow Mitch is the one fighting FOR us...
