Politico: “One alternate policy that Democrats and advocates are floating is narrowing their horizons on immigration by making a simple change to a decades-old ‘registry’ law… That law allows immigrants to apply for a green card if they arrived in the U.S. before a certain year, and that date was last altered in 1986 to let undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. before 1972 apply for legal status.”
“Some Democrats say simply updating that law with a more recent year, greatly increasing the number of immigrants eligible to apply for legal status, could pass muster with the Senate parliamentarian.”
