The future of immigration reform is still uncertain

Democratic leaders are trying to introduce immigration reform in the 2022 budget package, a proposal that has faced several obstacles so far.

Through this immigration reform, the Biden administration seeks to open a path to citizenship for eligible undocumented immigrants, especially when it comes to essential workers, young people who came to the US as children (Dreamers), beneficiaries of certain deportation relief programs, and foreign nationals who have resided in the country for a considerable period of time.

Recently, however, the Senate Parliamentarian twice rejected the immigration language included by Democratic leaders in the budget package, leaving immigration reform in limbo.

Understanding the Senate Parliamentarian’s ruling

To understand the issue at hand, it is important to explain that the Senate Parliamentarian is the policy advisor to this branch of Congress, but his/her rulings are not necessarily an order.

In other words, at this point, Democratic leaders could decide whether to take into account the Senate Parliamentarian’s opinion regarding immigration reform through the budget reconciliation process, or go ahead with their plans and leave the final decision in the hands of the Senate Democratic Caucus.

What do Democrats need to enact immigration reform?

Despite the Senate Parliamentarian’s ruling regarding the immigration proposals included in the spending bill, Democratic leaders could move forward with immigration reform, but what do they need to accomplish this goal?

Well, according to the opinion of several experts on the subject, the real obstacle lies not in the opinion of the Senate Parliamentarian, but in the unity of the Democratic Caucus within the Senate.

In fact, because immigration reform is being introduced through the reconciliation process, it would take only 51 votes in the Senate to get it through.

However, the challenge now is to make sure that the Democratic members of the Senate are united to get the necessary votes to pass this immigration bill.
