Once again, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi planned a vote on the Democrats' $1.75 trillion budget reconciliation amnesty bill on Friday only to rescind the vote hours later. However, the threat of Congress passing what could become the largest illegal alien amnesty in U.S. history is still very much alive.
One significant difference from Friday's rescinded vote compared to past efforts by Pelosi to hold a vote on the bill was that the House did approve a rule to bring the bill to the floor for debate. But the chamber stopped short of voting on it. However, it did approve the bipartisan infrastructure bill, which, up until Friday, had been directly tied to the budget reconciliation bill in the House of Representatives.
As it currently stands, the House version of budget reconciliation would result in the largest illegal alien amnesty in U.S. history if passed by both chambers of Congress. The bill includes what the Senate has dubbed as 'Plan C' -- a plan that would provide work permits and legal status, known as "parole", to an estimated 7.9 million illegal aliens. Senate Democrats have yet to submit the plan to the Senate Parliamentarian to see if it would be consistent with Senate rules, and Democratic Leaders have said they'll only approve immigration provisions that are approved by the Parliamentarian.
