What Would Happen if Congress Does not Pass Immigration Reform?
Tension grows over immigration reform
Biden arrived to the White House with the firm intention of restructuring the US immigration system from its roots through comprehensive immigration reform, a proposal that needs congressional support.
To understand the issue at hand, it is important to explain that the executive power of both the President and his team only goes so far, and in order to implement lasting policies or laws, the local government must seek approval from both branches of Congress, the House of Representatives and the Senate.
With respect to immigration reform, one of Biden’s main proposals is to open a path to legalization for immigrants residing in the US undocumented, a number that currently exceeds 11 million.
Biden’s proposal specifically targets undocumented foreigners who are essential workers in multiple sectors of the local market.
The controversy surrounding immigration reform has grown considerably over the past few weeks, especially after the Senate Parliamentarian twice rejected the immigration language included in Biden’s 2022 budget package, which appeared to be the last viable alternative to enact comprehensive reform.

The repercussions of failing to enact immigration reform
To understand what might be the possible repercussions of not enacting comprehensive immigration reform, one must first know that the US’ Congress has not passed immigration reform for 35 years, despite several administrations’ attempts to do so.
According to El Semanario magazine, if Congress does not pass immigration reform under the Biden administration, the US will continue to have a generation of essential workers in the shadows, who keep the national economy afloat and contribute greatly to the socio-cultural development of the nation.
According to the magazine, the situation is likely to remain the same, that is, undocumented immigrants will continue to find ways to avoid deportation, to work and to build the stability they came for.
In other words, Congress will not control irregular migration levels by rejecting immigration reform; on the contrary, it could increase undocumented and clandestine migration.

It may be time to reconstruct some rules from the past
Certain political leaders who support immigration overhaul, including members of the Biden administration, state that it is time to reform the local immigration system and replace outdated policies with legalization pathways for foreign nationals who have resided in the US for more than a decade and who, naturally, are already an essential part of the American socioeconomic fabric.
