Senate Democrats with no policy roadmap for 2022

Several Democratic senators have stated that their intention to transform immigration policy was intercepted in 2021, and, for 2022, the outlook is still unclear.

While most Democratic representatives have shown interest in introducing new pro-immigration legislation, they have made little progress since Biden took office a year ago.

Brakes on the 2021 proposals

The two proposals that generated the most controversy

The MPP Policy

The first proposal was to rescind the MPP (Migrant Protection Protocols) or “Remain in Mexico” policy, which requires individuals seeking political asylum in the US to remain outside the country while their applications are approved.

Despite efforts by Democrats to eradicate this rule and in the midst of a seemingly never-ending legal battle, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the MPP should remain in place.

Biden’s social spending bill

The second proposal was the Build Back Better agenda, which sought to include several important immigration provisions in the budget package. However, the Senate Parliamentarian rejected this bill three times.

After learning of the ruling by the Parliamentarian, who is the Senate’s policy advisor, Democratic Senator Joe Manchin stated that he would not support Biden’s spending bill, almost completely closing the door to immigration reform.

Democratic leaders’ agenda for 2022

Senator Manchin’s position is key to the Build Back Better agenda moving forward. Faced with this situation, other Democratic representatives have constructed a trimmed down version of the proposal to persuade Senator Manchin. However, he has yet to give his opinion.

For Democratic leaders, this 2021 legislative stalemate does not allow them to have a clear path of action for 2022 when it comes to immigration, considering that if Build Back Better does not pass, they would have to build a new proposal from scratch, significantly delaying Biden’s policy agenda.
