Using Reconciliation To Ram Through Amnesty: A Bad Means To A Bad End
avatar By Pawel Styrna July 16, 2021
The Democrats are attempting to push through a massive amnesty, on a purely partisan basis, as part of a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation proposal. And they are doing so in the middle of a historic illegal migration crisis at our southern border which the Biden-Harris administration has so far failed to take seriously, let alone fix.
According to The Hill, “a budget reconciliation bill would not include immigration reform per se, the current Democratic proposal includes funding to grant a path to citizenship” for “ up to 10 million people,” including illegal aliens benefitting from or eligible for the unconstitutional Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, the beneficiaries of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), farmworkers, and so-called “essential workers.”
Using the reconciliation process would allow the Democrats to pass the amnesty without the need to secure any Republican support in the Senate. In other words, the GOP – as the minority party would not be able to use the filibuster to block the budget and the harmful immigration agenda it contains.
