Piecemeal solution (FlDreamer you're correct), or go nuclear.

[mod edit: added relevant text]

Quote:
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a key figure in the "Gang of Eight" overhaul in 2013 that passed the Senate but died in the Republican-controlled House, called it a nonstarter.

"There are many issues I think we can work cooperatively with President-elect Biden, but a blanket amnesty for people who are here unlawfully isn't going to be one of them," he said in a statement Tuesday, the day before Biden was sworn in.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he doubts Biden's plan can pass, describing it as "to the left" of the 2013 legislation that he helped craft, citing fewer provisions to beef up border security.

Graham, who took on a more hard-right posture during the Trump administration, said the most likely endgame is a smaller deal centered on codifying the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which President Barack Obama set up unilaterally.

"I think probably the space in a 50-50 Senate would be some kind of DACA deal," Graham said Thursday. "Comprehensive immigration is going to be a tough sell given this environment, but doing DACA, I think, is possible."


Quote:
And if Republicans block the bill in the Senate?

"Reform the filibuster if Republicans are refusing to go along," Jayapal said.

A senior Democratic staffer said Republicans don't appear to have the political appetite for a broad immigration overhaul, saying: "I don't know where you would start to find 10."

The staffer said a filibuster of immigration overhaul, as well as other Democratic priorities, like protecting voting rights, would elevate a debate inside the party about abolishing the 60-vote rule.

LOL most folks on this site have been saying a narrow bill can pass.. and the Biden proposal is DOA. DACA has huge support among college voters which is a big part of the Biden voting block. This is not surprising.


I also think an essential workers bill can gather support but GOP will really tag what a essential worker is.

I think this is Biden's intention. He knows full comprehensive reform won't pass the senate. They will settle for DACA legislation. That will take some heat away from him from pro immigrant organizations that he failed to get full reform but at least he got us dreamers. DACA can get 60+ votes easily. Even republicans are in favor of keeping us here. Only Cotton, Cruz who want to be President one day will try killing any DACA or immigration reform.

I think a DACA and essential workers bill can pass, but not the 11 million people

Biden is an old dawg with lots of tricks up his sleeve.

Rubio and Graham are suckers to Trump, so, no, we don't need your votes. Bye.

DACA needs to be dealt apart from CIR. Pass something like CIR during these divided times will be tough, maybe down the road after a DACA deal.
