The issue of including a pathway to citizenship for the millions of illegals in this country has already been settled.
The Senate Parliamentarian has ruled that it did not fit the necessary requirements to be included in a budgetary bill passed by reconciliation.
Democrats in the House, however, now want that ruling ignored to offer a pathway to citizenship for them all.
Shortsighted Thinking
Just like the CBO score, Democrats want to pretend the Senate Parliamentarian ruling does not exist.
After Joe Biden called the CBO the “gold standard” for grading the costs of legislation, he now says they don’t have the expertise to grade his particular piece of legislation.
Likewise, House Dems want the Senate Parliamentarian overridden.
In a letter signed by AOC and 89 other House Democrats, they stated, “We do understand that the Senate Parliamentarian has issued a memorandum dismissing — despite evidence to the contrary — the budgetary impact of providing a pathway to citizenship.
“But the role of the Parliamentarian is an advisory one, and the Parliamentarian’s opinion is not binding.”
The letter concludes, “The moment is now.
“We urge you to reinstate a pathway to citizenship for Dreams, TPS holder, farm workers, and essential workers in the Senate’s version of the reconciliation bill.”

This just proves how far Democrats are willing to go to redefine infrastructure.
It also shows their shortsightedness while having all the power.
We all know how much outrage there would be if this were Republicans making this request rather than Democrats.
This move, however, would set a precedent, one that Republicans could draw upon time and time again when and if they retake power in Congress.
These people have to be stopped. Election Day 2022 cannot get here soon enough.

This communist democrat pedophile protecting racist cult party regime is out to throw the Constitution and Bill of Rights into the dumpster while embracing a fascist authoritarian puppet dictatorship!
Agreed! It’s obvious.
I could not have said that better.
TAKE ALL OF THEM AND PUT IN A STRAIGHT JACKET &A PADDED CELL. ALL THE FASICTS GOVERNMENT,CORPORATIONS,NIH,FDA ,EDUCATIONUNIONS, AND ANY AND ALL ORGANIZATIONS WHO AGAINST AMERICA!!
The democraps are desperate to find voters now that their vote rigging has seen the light of day. To destroy the fabric of America and throw dirt in the eyes of legal immagrents and reward confirmed law breakers means nothing to the commie democraps
That’s why the Democrats all need to be removed from office all the way to the top. The Democratic Party needs to be destroyed for all the problems & evil they have brought into the lives of American citizens.
Absolutely!!!!!
If the role is “advisory” why even have the position at all? This is typical of Democrats who believe they can just steam roll their ideas into place with no consequences. I say NO to this and we should all stand together. Legal citizens are the only people who should be QUALIFIED to vote – State or Federal – no exceptions.
I agree, we the AMERICAN citizen’s should be the only ones to vote period!
AMEN !!!!!
And they should have to show an ID to vote.Onethat confirms they are citizens.
We still see all that these people are getting away with and are still able to keep their jobs without any consequences.
it long past time for a convention of states we need to put a stop to this communist regime
trying to destroy all our rights that would be the only way to over ride bumbling biden power grab
So Democrats in the House are trying to tell the entire Senate how its rules should be structured? Pelosi does not control the whole government and not even the whole Congress.
There should be no path to citizenship for illegals end of discussion
