Correct.

The panel sets the terms for budget reconciliation, a procedure that allows senators to approve certain tax and spending bills with a simple majority and sidestep the 60-vote threshold needed for most legislation.
With a 50-50 split that will often require tie-breaking votes cast by Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, Democrats are likely to find themselves relying on reconciliation to advance the parts of their legislative agenda most likely to draw full GOP opposition...

Imo, The democrats might be more serious about their governing priorities than this 2nd attempt at impeachment. They will attempt do so through the aforementioned process with a simple majority. What if Sanders attached piecemeal legislation within committee?
A while back, USCIS requested a certain amount of money so operations can continue as they are not doing well fiscally due to the pandemic. Technically, that is germaine to the Budget committee that Sanders will Chair.
This is a big what IF...considering legalization programs usually have a big fine...and USCIS operates off of fees....so...
To cut things short....introduce Dream act ONLY as an amendment in committee. During reconciliation to pass in both houses...add in.
