Here we go! Incredible deal making by Joey Biden....He seems serious about getting something done. He needs to get Sinema and Manchin on board.

As I have said for the past 20 years +, if anything helpful towards the immigrant community passes into law it will come from the democrat side. The GOP would love to leave immigrants as the slave class, cheap labor while needed.

Now it's time to support and demand the Democrats step up and take it all the way to the finish line. It's very probable this is the best chance we will ever have. Show as much support as possible in social media and hold rotten apples accountable

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

Dems also need to be held accountable. Chuck Schumer has a long history of giving up on his goals. They also have a strong tendency to continue the status quo for political purposes. Enough is enough and this time there is only one outcome possible and that must entail immediate legalization of Dreamers.

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

Don't worry people

It is an initial offer

GOP will balk at 8-10 mil

In the end they will swallow DA + TPS + Border Security

They will have to

Dems already including Border Security

I smell Good Faith Effort

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

107bln for border security

Xmas for GOP

They will swallow

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

I believe the biggest issue for the GOP is immigrants that they have hated on for the past 20 years becoming citizens and potential voters. they do care about border security, but they care more about 10 million people voting and flipping states like Texas

Let's hold Democrats accountable to push this all the way through the finish line, now or never.

Elections have consequences

RAM. THIS. SHIT.

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

This is our best shot since 2010. I cant imagine the Dems retaining the House and Senate next year so probably the best chance we’ll have in the foreseeable future. Its gonna be devastating if it doesn't pass.

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

If this doesn't go thru, I'm going to be devastated, this might be our last real chance.

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

Well get ready to be devastated. This is the American government we're talking about. You must be new here.

Forbes:

"The budget resolution asks lawmakers to submit their amended reconciliation legislation by September 15."

All or nothing now . Let’s see how manchin and sin feel

Why are you in this forum? Clearly you have some hope or are you just here to get pleasure from everyone's anxiety/misery?

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

We survived 4 years of Trump, both GOP chambers, countless court challenges.

This is our lowest point.

Nothing but UPSIDE from here.

So STFU

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

The next 2 -3 months is it. Either they push through reconciliation or the appropriations bill but at least we’ll know very shortly.

THIS. They know it this passes it might screw them forever.

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

No GOP votes needed

So STFU

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

I will be more optimistic if the Senate parliamentarian doesn't fuck us over before anyone else can. If she says game on, I will be a bit more excited.

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

This is the first draft and can be amended based on the Parliamentarian's decision. Start big and good smaller as needed.

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

My take is that Parliamentarian will rule against legalizing millions, but since we pay taxes, they will say that Dreamers can be included in reconciliation. Maybe I'm too optimistic.

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

This is what I am hoping for. However, if she goes this route, one can argue that the remaining undocumented population also pays taxes.

She or her family, especially kids, must know someone who has DACA to help her see how important this decision is.

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

America needs all the essential undocumented workers to continue to help our country out of this pandemic!!

There is a tsunami of health care staff ready to leave the field due to the dysfunction in the system. We need all hands on deck.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is tasked with providing...

Guess who is the chair

Big D Durbin of course

He's been in the trenches. I mean he IS the trench of immigration debate.

We good fam

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

Adding 10 million of new accountable tax payers would most definitely help the budget.

This would be a no brainer, the only reason the immigration portion of the budgetary would not be included it would be political BS. If we are not included you may as well pack your bags, because this is it.

otherwise you will be sentence to face uncertainty and a forever 2nd class resident with no rights

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

Nope.

Even if Trump is elected again in 24, as long as Dems have 41 seats in the Senate we still good.

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

You and me both...If this doesn't pass, there will be some really tough and risky decisions to be made while Biden is still president.

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

I don't see how this has a chance in hell w/o the progs holding the Senate Bill hostage. Are they voting for both?

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

From Vox article:

What’s next for the process
The megabill does not yet, technically speaking, exist. But last month, Democrats on the Senate Budget Committee reached a deal on how much money the forthcoming megabill will spend overall, and in various areas. To do so, they came to a de facto agreement on what they hope to put in it.

The next step is for the full Senate to approve this deal by passing a budget resolution this week, and for the House to do the same later this month. Doing this unlocks the filibuster-proof budget reconciliation process.

After that, both chambers can finally get around to actually hammering out the details of the megabill itself. Democrats hope to pass it and get it signed into law by President Biden by the end of the year.

Changes to the overall bill are likely at every step of this process. But the budget resolution is the first step; it sets the stage for everything that will come later. And Democrats have made clear that they are starting with very lofty ambitions indeed.

Ughhhhhhhh. Fucks sake…more waiting

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

That’s the deadline, expect action when the parliamentarian chimes in which would be earlier than that.

Re: Budget Rconciliation package includes pathway to citizenship
 

PARLIAMENTARIAN'S POWER

The ambitious goals of the $3.5 trillion budget plan will be reviewed by the Senate parliamentarian, who has the power to strip out provisions found to be at odds with Senate rules. The full Senate could, however, vote to overrule such decisions.
