Pelosi says Dems' massive spending bill should include immigration reform

Democrats are pushing to include a pathway to citizenship for so-called Dreamer immigrants as well as Temporary Protected Status holders, essential workers and farmworkers
By Megan Henney | Fox News

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday that a sweeping, multitrillion-dollar spending bill that Democrats are aiming to pass without any Republican support should also tackle immigration reform.

"I do believe that immigration should be in the reconciliation, some piece of that, in the reconciliation," Pelosi told reporters on Friday during a press conference with House Democratic leadership. "We know we have a very good case for this to be included."

Democrats are pushing to include a pathway to citizenship for so-called Dreamer immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children and are protected from deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, as well as Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, essential workers and farmworkers.

The provisions would be part of a roughly $3.5 trillion bill that Democrats are still in the process of negotiating. While details of the legislation are still unclear, it's widely expected to invest billions in an array of planned health, education, environment and social programs as Democrats seek to use the procedural tool known as budget reconciliation to bypass a 60-vote filibuster by Republicans in the Senate.

Alternate Plan B for 'rat victory in 2022 (if the public won't go for the Covid ballot racket again) - bus illegals into key areas, give 'em citizenship and a ballot.

The DEMS will push till amnesty is granted.  The DEMS hold the purse strings but why should immigration reform be a part of the bill?

Hokus Pokus - hopefully the GOP is paying attention and secondly hopefully they actually give a darn (doubtful).
