Democrats Weigh Plan to Muscle Through Immigration Changes
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...ration-changes
Senate Democrats are weighing plans to speed some components of a stalled immigration overhaul through the Senate later this year as part of a broad Democrat-only measure with much of President Joe Biden’s economic agenda. The idea was discussed Wednesday at a meeting between Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and all 11 Democrats on the Senate Budget Committee, said one of the participants, Tim Kaine of Virginia. The lawmakers met to craft strategy for a 2022 fiscal blueprint that could enable other legislation to clear the Senate with just 50 votes -- short-circuiting a likely Republican filibuster of a series of costly Biden agenda items. Kaine said that providing a pathway to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants might be used to help offset the costs of other Biden proposals, which include a vast expansion of spending for child care, elder care and climate change improvements. He said that during President George W. Bush’s administration the Congressional Budget Office found providing legal status to some undocumented immigrants would bring in more government revenue. “Any time there’s been a CBO examination of what immigration reform would do, it produces a significant increase in the GDP without really costing much money,” Kaine said. Using a fast-track, partisan process to bypass GOP opposition and enact a path to citizenship for millions of unauthorized immigrants has been pushed by some immigration advocates who say they have no faith that Republicans would back long-sought immigration law changes. It would have two advantages for Democrats -- they’d potentially be able to accomplish a longstanding and long-elusive priority while using the revenue immigration would bring to offset spending on other priorities. Yet it would require all 50 Democrats to be on board and require clearing a parliamentary thicket of rules intended to prevent the inclusion of items not related to the budget. |

Keep United We Dream and the radical lefties who want to "Abolish ICE" out and anything is possible.

Re: Democrats Weigh Plan to Muscle Through Immigration Changes
Anyone interested in forming our own group to push for common sense, realistic, daca first legislation so UWD isn’t the only voice Congress hears?

I am on board. However, will corporate Democrats be bold enough to do this? Let’s hope so. Other issue is Joe Manchin would be needed. |
Re: Democrats Weigh Plan to Muscle Through Immigration Changes
Manchin would veto. I believe in a previous interview, he said that he would support dreamer if dems add border security. He has also never support CIR

Re: Democrats Weigh Plan to Muscle Through Immigration Changes
It will fail in the Senate.
The Parliamentarian will turn it down, Dems will say "we tried" and then come 2022 elections they will promise a DACA legalization... Maybe Pelosi will give up her own USA citizenship for one of us in Woketopia haha |
Re: Democrats Weigh Plan to Muscle Through Immigration Changes

Re: Democrats Weigh Plan to Muscle Through Immigration Changes
I am proud of the dream Act cynicism on this board, it sustains me.

Re: Democrats Weigh Plan to Muscle Through Immigration Changes
Nah fam, immigration reform wont happen, no chance in hell right now specially, dems are weak when it comes to this, UWD wants all or nothing and now that nobody wants to work illegals are urgently needed to keep america running with their cheap labor.
