Senate parliamentarian rejects Democrats' third immigration offer
By Jordain Carney - 12/16/21 06:56 PM EST

Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough has rejected the third and most recent plan from Democrats for including immigration reform in the Build Back Better bill, telling senators that it doesn't meet the rules for what can be included in a budget measure bypassing the Senate's filibuster.

The guidance is the latest setback for Democrats' hopes of including immigration reform in the spending bill. MacDonough had previously rejected two plans from Democrats that would have provided a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrants.

The third plan stopped short of that, aggravating some activists and progressives. It would have granted 6.5 million foreign nationals a temporary parole status that would give them five-year work and travel permits.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), who chairs the Judiciary Committee, said he was "disappointed" and that Democrats are "considering what options are available."

Hey DICK Durbin how about pass a bill following the rules. Better yet try listening to the people you are suppose to represent and don't pass anything.

Mr. McConnell ought to get some kind of police protection for her...
