Democrats Rely on Senate Parliamentarian to Sneak Amnesty into Infrastructure BillWendell Husebø 16 Jul 2021
Senate Democrats are relying on the Senate parliamentarian to sneak amnesty for millions of illegal aliens into their trojan horse infrastructure bill.
“That’s going to be up to the parliamentarian — what’s in there. We’ll leave that to her discretion,” said Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV). “And then, based on that, we’ll decide where the appropriate place is for it,” Rosen said of the amnesty provisions.
NBC News reported that Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) is seeking “to allow a path to legalization and green cards” for illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, those working on farms, those considered “essential workers,” and those given Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
Menendez called the expansive amnesty provisions a “very big down payment.”
But the Democrats’ amnesty plan is confronted with the Senate “Byrd rule” that is weighed by the parliamentarian, who governs what can be added to the trojan horse package, typically restricting measures that are not related to spending and taxes.
“How far do we want to go? We want to go as far as we can, assuming the parliamentarian allows it to happen,” Menendez said.
