One alternate policy that Democrats and advocates are floating is narrowing their horizons on immigration by making a simple change to a decades-old “registry” law, according to multiple people familiar with the discussions. That law allows immigrants to apply for a green card if they arrived in the U.S. before a certain year, and that date was last altered in 1986 to let undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. before 1972 apply for legal status.
Menendez confimed his interest in that approach: “We’re not changing the law which was the essence of her arguments that I read in her opinion,” he said. “We are just updating a date.” One of those Democrats, Rep. Chuy Garcia, reiterated Monday that "immigration reform needs to be a part of reconciliation."
Democrats had argued to the parliamentarian that the budgetary effect of providing permanent legal status to Dreamers, farmworkers, essential workers during the pandemic and those with Temporary Protected Status would be significant enough to include in reconciliation because more people would become eligible for federal benefits.
NOW they want reform! 😂

Years of GOP tax cuts caused: An 8.7% shift in wealth from the 99% working class to the top 1% wealth class. 8.7% = $11.26 Trillion. Biden wants $3.5 Trillion invested in the middle class. Repubs oppose a tax on the 1% to pay for it. Who does the GOP represent? Source: Fed Rsv
Dems have the best intentions but they are shot down and controlled by 2 fake Dems planted by the GOP ......
Perfect way to send it to the trash can. This is a problem that simple US immigration reform cannot fix alone. We need UN involvement & planning. Climate change & wars have people on the move. We must have a multi-national comprehensive plan.
Dems are the last things this country needs to be paying attention to, how about we find a leader ?
