The Reconciliation Process and Biden’s Immigration Proposal

The Biden administration, fully aware that it currently will not get bipartisan support in Congress for comprehensive immigration reform, introduced an immigration resolution in the 2022 budget package.

The reason why Democratic leaders included this immigration resolution in the spending bill is because it would allow them to pass the bill with only 51 votes in the Senate through the reconciliation process and circumvent the Republican filibuster.

It is important to mention that, Biden’s immigration resolution in the budget package proposes, among other things, to open a path to citizenship for essential undocumented workers.

What has happened with Biden’s budget package so far?

Although the US House of Representatives had already passed Biden’s 2022 budget package, Democratic leaders recently faced the Senate Parliamentarian’s opinion regarding the immigration resolution in the spending bill:

1. On September 19, the Senate Parliamentarian rejected the immigration language in the budget package, stating that, although opening a pathway to citizenship could indeed impact the national economy, it is not entirely a budgetary issue.
2. After this event, Democratic leaders slightly changed the immigration proposal in the budget package, but the Senate Parliamentarian rejected the Democrats’ plan B on September 29.

Democrats propose to issue previously unused visas

At this point it is important to know, understand and analyze the immigration proposals included in the budget package. Why do we say this? Mainly because we often talk about immigration reform or the controversy surrounding undocumented foreigners, but many times we do not know what the proposals are.

Well, according to a recent report by the Center for Immigration Studies, immigration proposals included by the Biden administration in the budget package are quite broad.

For instance, Democratic leaders propose to:

• Allow the issuance of unused visas from 1992 through 2021.
• Remove per-country caps for Green Cards based on employment and family ties.

Under these proposals, more than 793,000 unused Green Cards would be available again, allowing certain eligible immigrants to receive LPR (Lawful Permanent Resident) status.

However, the reality is that the Biden administration still faces major challenges in fulfilling its promise to open a path to legalization for millions of undocumented immigrants.
