As the\nBiden Border Crisis continues with no end in sight, Senate Democrats are\nworking around the clock to inject amnesty into a massive spending bill they\nare selling as an \u201cinfrastructure package.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bill is slated to be advanced through the little-known budget reconciliation process, which allows the party in power to pass legislation related to the budget with only a simple majority, bypassing the traditional 60 vote threshold. However, the budget reconciliation process has complex requirements, and it is not certain that the Senate parliamentarian would agree to including \u00a0amnesty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The amnesty push accelerated when Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-VT), released a draft of a $6 trillion reconciliation budget blueprint, which includes $126 billion to put approximately 5 million illegal aliens on a pathway to citizenship. While this proposal is only the start of the budget reconciliation process, the addition of immigration components is a dangerous first step toward amnesty for millions with nothing in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How could they possibly do this through the budget reconciliation process? Their selling point is that while putting approximately 5 million illegal aliens on a pathway to citizenship is costly, it nonetheless results in big economic benefits for all Americans down the line. This tired talking point has been used by the pro-amnesty lobby for decades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are the facts:

This attempt to blow up long-standing Senate rules in order to grant\namnesty to millions of illegal aliens would not only exacerbate an already raging\ncrisis, but deeply harm our nation for decades. It must be stopped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
