Can Immigration Reform Pass Under Reconciliation?

“Democrats are looking to set aside $120 billion for a pathway to citizenship for recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, farm workers, essential workers and people with Temporary Protected Status,” CNN reports.

“It’s an untested question whether immigration reform will meet that criteria.”

Said former Senate parliamentarian Alan Frumin: “I understand arguments are made that there are budgetary effects when you change immigration law. But I think there’s probably a strong argument that those effects are secondary.”
