WASHINGTON — Democrats can’t use their $3.5 trillion package bolstering social and climate programs for their plan to give millions of immigrants a chance to become citizens, the Senate’s parliamentarian said late Sunday, a crushing blow to what was the party’s clearest pathway in years to attaining that long-sought goal.
The rejected provisions would open multiyear doorways to legal permanent residence — and perhaps citizenship — for young immigrants brought illegally to the country as children, often called “Dreamers.” Also included would be immigrants with Temporary Protected Status who’ve fled countries stricken by natural disasters or extreme violence; essential workers and farm workers.
“What we know is true: a path to permanent residency and citizenship has a significant budgetary impact, great bipartisan support, and above all it is critical to America’s recovery,” said Kerri Talbot, deputy director of the Immigration Hub, a group of pro-immigration strategists. “We will continue to work with members of Congress to ensure that millions of undocumented immigrants can have lasting protections.
One alternative advocates have said they’re exploring would be to update a “registry” date that allows some immigrants in the U.S. by that time to become permanent residents if they meet certain conditions. But it was unclear if they would pursue that option or how the parliamentarian would rule.

Pennsylvania Senate Democrats sue Republicans to block 2020 election 'investigation'The lawsuit argues that GOP-led efforts to subpoena private records of voters violates state law and the separation of powers doctrine. Typical democrats afraid that something sinister may be uncovered. They sure are trying hard to cover something up. Criminals always try to hide their tracks. Are the Democrats trying to hide something here perhaps? Better yet, fire all politicians?

Democrats unlikely to get immigration measure in $3.5 trillion budget proposal after Senate parliamentarian rulingSenate Democrats likely will not be able to include a pathway to legalization for millions of immigrants in their $3.5 trillion bill to expand the country's social safety net after new guidance from the Senate parliamentarian Sunday night. tavo_mirtha .TheDemocrats have no spine. When Moscow Mitch was in power. He passed tax reform. He held Supreme Court nomination and put 3 judges in single presidential term. Now democrats will tuck their tail between their legs and blame the senate parliamentarian instead of over ruling her until yesterday you didn’t even know of that position 🙄…did you reported when republicans (Trent Lott) fired him? Immigration needs its own separate bill. We’ve been saying this for years and no one has done a damn thing about it. Now we want to put it in during a pandemic?

Senate Democrats hit roadblock in bid to help millions become U.S. citizensSenate Democrats hit a major roadblock on Sunday 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 $3.5 trillion spending bill, lawmakers said. What’s the roadblock, actual US citizens. All those voters they need.. There’s a process to become a US Citizen. I know, I’ve heard the story from my family. Jumping the line shows disrespect for the US and for those spending time in hell to do it right.
