Congressional Democrats unveiled President Joe Biden’s expansive immigration reform bill Thursday, which would provide an eight-year pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants, but already faces dim prospects for becoming law with such narrow Democratic majorities in both chambers.

The bill, introduced by Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.), would create an expedited pathway for so-called Dreamers and other select undocumented immigrants. It also would increase the number of available diversity visas, and directs more funding to immigration courts and technology.

Neither party is particularly interested in solving the issue.  It gives them something to blovate about, get their names and faces in the news, without really doing anything, taking any chances, or upsetting voters.  As long as their pomposity extends only to words, they know they are same from blowback.
