Democrats Ask Biden to Streamline Citizenship for Undocumented Immigrants

Nearly 20 senators came together to call on President Joe Biden to approve a streamlined path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants living in the United States.
The group said undocumented immigrants with no criminal history and "deep ties" to the United States should be able to obtain parole or a lawful immigration status in a new letter.
Democratic senators listed on the letter were: Michael Bennet of Colorado, Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, Alex Padilla and Laphonza Butler of California, Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen of Nevada, Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico, Bob Menendez and Cory Booker of New Jersey, Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, Ed Markey of Massachusetts, Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden of Oregon, Raphael Warnock of Georgia and independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
"Streamlining pathways for undocumented immigrants with no criminal history and deep ties to the United States to obtain parole or a lawful immigration status would provide stability to their families, require them to pay taxes, and to check in with the U.S. government regularly," the senators said in the letter.

Odd isn't it, these democrats don't seem to know the president has no power under the Constitution to make such a move. It says CONGRESS shall make uniform laws of immigration and this would clearly not be uniform and not done by congress.

I personally know engineers from India and the Philippines who have been working here for a decade at below market salaries, basically prisoners to their employers, waiting for green cards. This is such an insult to those who followed the rules.

Yeah, but they are documented.
There are many of us who would see the illegals rounded up and sent back where they came from.

Even though there are tens of millions of them, we start by deporting them one-at-a-time. And just keep on doing it.
Could be hired out to private contractors and become a mini-industry in some places...
