As much as we would like the bill to AT LEAST contain legalization for Dreamers, I can't see how "less" is better in this case. In budget reconciliation, providing legalization EN MASSE to millions would probably be more effective in convincing the parliamentarian that the immigration provision is added primarily to impact the economy and federal budget.

It seems to me that it's more about whether she would agree to both (1) legalizing the undocumented, and (2) greencard backlogs for the documented. I don't think there will be any further drilling down that these two options.
