Democrats are looking to include roughly $120 billion in funding to the budget bill for pathways to citizenship for “Dreamers,” Temporary Protected Status holders and undocumented workers, according to a report from Axios.
The report says that the Democrats also plan to expand immigration courts to decrease processing times for the illegal aliens that are pouring over the border.
“Details haven’t been finalized, but the funds could be put toward facilities for handling asylum claims; additional staff for higher cross-border traffic areas; expanding immigration courts to address backlogs; alternatives-to-detention programs, and various ports-of-entry repairs, three sources familiar with the negotiations say,” the Axios report states.
