Senate parliamentarian rules Democrats can not include a pathway to citizenship in budget
September 21, 2021
On Sunday, the Senate parliamentarian ruled that Democrats are not allowed to provide a path to citizenship for about 8 million undocumented immigrants as part of their budget bill. The party hoped the immigration changes would cover Dreamers brought to the U.S. as children, people affected by conflicts or natural disasters in their home countries, farm workers and other essential workers. The decision deals a setback to reform advocates who have long pushed for Congress to grant legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants who live and work in the U.S.
