WASHINGTON, Sept 20 — Senate Democrats hit a major roadblock today in their effort to allow millions of immigrants to legally stay in the United States, after the Senate Parliamentarian ruled against attaching the measure to a US$3.5 trillion spending bill, lawmakers said.
In a statement, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats were “deeply disappointed in this decision but the fight to provide lawful status for immigrants in budget reconciliation continues.” Sunday’s ruling was “deeply disappointing,” a White House spokesperson said, but added, “We fully expect our partners in the Senate to come back with alternative immigration-related proposals for the parliamentarian to consider.”
An estimate in Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough’s ruling, obtained by Reuters, showed the step would have helped about 8 million people become lawful permanent residents, including about 7 million now deemed to infringe the law. As the Senate’s parliamentarian, MacDonough, in the job since 2012 under both Republicans and Democrats, advises lawmakers about what is acceptable under the chamber’s rules and precedents, sometimes with lasting consequences.Early this year, MacDonough barred inclusion of a minimum wage hike in a Covid-19 aid bill.
