I extracted this excerpt from CNN news, apparently the Dems only need 51 votes (K. Harris included) to pass any immigration legislation thru a budget reconciliation process.

If this is true, then the possibility to pass an immigration bill (DA and/or CIR) looks real good right now imo, possbly even this year .


But Biden and the immigration advocates face a challenge that will shadow almost all aspects of his legislative agenda: The threat to freeze out Republicans and pass immigration legislation solely with Democratic votes works only if every Senate Democrat is willing to vote to end the filibuster -- or to legalize millions of the undocumented through the special budget "reconciliation" process that allows bills to clear the upper chamber with 51 votes (including a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Kamala Harris).

fyi, this article explains how reconciliation works:

And after reading it, I don't see why an immigration bill wouldn't qualify to be introduced in a budget reconciliation process, it meets all the criteria.
