Democrats Quietly Plotting to Slip Massive Amnesty into Budget Reconciliation Bill
avatar By RJ Hauman July 9, 2021
As the Biden Border Crisis continues with no end in sight, Senate Democrats are working around the clock to inject amnesty into a massive spending bill they are selling as an “infrastructure package.”
The bill is slated is to be advanced through the little-known budget reconciliation process, which allows the party in power to pass legislation related to the budget with only a simple majority, bypassing the traditional 60 vote threshold. However, the budget reconciliation process has complex requirements, and it is not certain that the Senate parliamentarian would agree to including amnesty.
The amnesty push accelerated when Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-VT), released a draft of a $6 trillion reconciliation budget blueprint, which includes $126 billion to put approximately 5 million illegal aliens on a pathway to citizenship. While this proposal is only the start of the budget reconciliation process, the addition of immigration components is a dangerous first step toward amnesty for millions with nothing in return.
