SENATE PASSES A BUDGET RESOLUTION THAT INCLUDES IMMIGRATION AMNESTY PLAN


Senate Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget resolution package instructs lawmakers to chart a pathway to citizenship (Amnesty) for millions of people while investing in border security.

The bill text unveiled Monday 08/11/21 includes some $105 billion for the Senate Judiciary Committee to spend on the Amnesty.

The package does not specify how many people or which groups would be covered by the legislation, instead directing the committee to provide “lawful permanent status for qualified immigrants.” A summary of the bill also states it will provide green cards “to millions of immigrant workers and families.”

It’s clear that the new laws will be created to allow legalizing for DACA kids, farmworkers and essential workers and their families.
