Senate parliamentarian rules against including immigration reform in $3.5 trillion economic bill

Washington New guidance from the Senate parliamentarian makes it unlikely Senate Democrats will be able to include immigration in their $3.5 trillion bill to expand the country's social safety net.

In her ruling, parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough wrote,"Changing the law to clear the way to LPR status is tremendous and enduring policy change that dwarfs its budgetary impact."The decision comes as a resounding rebuke to Democrats, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation. With it, it's unlikely immigration will be included in the bill.This is a breaking story and will be updated.CNN's Manu Raju contributed to this report.

Mister president Biden there is no government by or for the people in Haiti. We have a group of corrupt politicians that are not working for the Haitian people. We need a group of Haitian everywhere to sign a peaceful accord to help establish a New Democratic government in Haiti.

.SenSchumer This person is NOT elected. YOU are. Do your job and ignore parliamentarian crap. Regressives would and I'm sure they have many times. You're being weak. Push things through!! Mcturtle would, why can't you

Looks like Biden and democrats r very dishonest, not 100 percent sure but all the hands r going in that way I think baby trumpie was right .

Since when does the Constitution require the Senate to give a flying fuck what the parliamentarian says?

do it anyway

Why start now 🤷🏻‍♂️

Dems better, no more excuses,the Parliamentarian is not the law,it's guidance !

Biden choosing to go on vacation time after time when there are multiple crises shows he is not fit to be our President.

Good !!!!

It’s an economic package not immigration. Separate them and debate on them. Shouldn’t be any pork in any package from any party

Fire the Parliamentarian Hey SenSchumer you need to step down Hey SenateDems you need to find another Leader

Can the Democrats in the Senate please just f*cking pass SOMETHING substantial? They are squandering time and will drown in the mid terms.

Remember this when Republicans go on their typical rants about the border crisis ! 🇺🇸

Why would the Democrats care about immigration reform? Isn’t the border open enough for them already?🤬

They will just draft an executive order

'Hey guys, listen, we make a comprehensive economic plan. All will get more money and pay less taxes, cheer!' 'Oh, tell you an unfortunate news that our plan failed due to rival obstruction. But it's okay, just vote for us next time, I promise.' This is vote politics.

Fire the parliamentarian

Fire him

What’s the deal with California getting some shady money.

Didn't the Republicans replace the parliamentarian with one that would agree with them when theirs said they couldn't do something? Because the time for clean fighting is long over. Any nefarious precedent they've set is fair game.

Then fire them...the Republicans did it to pass the Bush tax cuts...the Democrats always looks for ways to punt, the ratchet effect in action.

TheDemocrats HouseDemocrats please at least pass part one. It’s sitting there waiting. Either that or it’s time to compromise.

At least somebody is doing something right
