What better time to push through amnesty for potentially millions of illegal immigrants than during the Biden border crisis? As tone-deaf as the plan is, that is exactly what Senate Democrats are planning to do in the $3.5T infrastructure bill. A decision has not been made on the numbers yet but Senator Dick Durbin, the Senate Democratic Whip, confirmed this week that it will happen. Democrats will try to push through immigration reform in the budget process.

The Ruling Oligarchy couldn't get their Amnesty agenda item into law in 2006. So they tried again in 2007 and failed. Then they didn't bother when the democrats held large majorities in both houses and the presidency (from 2009 to 2011) because they were working on healthcare.

Then Scott Brown won in January 2010 so they couldn't.

So the congressional route was out. So Obama created DACA so that forty year old "dreamers" couldn't be deported. And that was just until after the 2014 primaries when they planned on getting Amnesty through the House.

Then Eric Cantor was defeated, so all the pro-Amnesty Republicans got cold feet.

Then Trump won and it was left to the courts to keep DACA and illegal immigration going.

So now the Democrats, after all this time, have the congress and the presidency again.

And they are DETERMINED (like with healthcare in 2009) to get this Ruling Oligarchy agenda item through.

Will they succeed??

Yes, because big business, the tech giants, and the Chamber of Commerce are all behind it. As Rush said, all politicians care about are the big donors. Voters are just a nuisance.

Thanks for the heads up ‘dick’. Now the republicrats can make up excuses about how they couldn’t stop the effort despite really, really trying.

The Deplorables want a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1986 ONE TIME amnesty. Since that amnesty was granted already, a second amnesty is off the table. What remains is the enforcement the Democrats have disallowed since then.

The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1986 goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls.

The senate parliamentarian allowing a illegal Second reconciliation
Is the WIFE of a Biden WH Aide .
The lady needs to be REMOVED now,
Go To Court and demand she step down .

Block all Senate Committee WORK by all MEANS .
Shut it ALL down until the Midterms.

Anyone think China Mitch do this ?

Then prevent it for ever, ever passing.

Better to do nothing than to do the wrong thing.

It occurs to me that this is why the GOPe went along with the stolen election.

Hell, this administration doesn’t even have to complete its term, if the traitors can get their amnesty.

The only way to beat them is to NOT pass the first $1.2 trillion package which needs 60 votes.

The Dems broke the original package into two parts so they could pass their "social infrastructure" bill using reconciliation which only requires a simple majority.

Clever...Put the brakes on the first package.

You left out the 2013 amnesty attempt with the Gang of 8. It actually passed in the Senate with 14 Reps voting for it. Graham and Rubio still around. Flake and McCain are gone.

That attempt was what the Cantor defeat scuttled. I just left out the Senate part.

Thanks!

The reconciliation instructions in the March covid relief bill were from the FY2021 budget resolution. This next bill will be off of the FY2022 budget resolution, so they still will have not breached the taboo on more than one reconciliation bill per year, on spending, tax and debt limit each.

Suicide or homicide?

If they really get an Amnesty provision past the parliamentarian and signed into law by Biden, that’s the ball game folks. Even if the Dems pay a price in the Midterms or even in 2024, those illegals will begin voting in four or five years. So, by 2028, they’ll all be eligible to vote.

Six years after Reagan signed the last Amnesty, Democrats carried the previously solid RED state of California and haven’t lost it since.

Keep in mind, the Supreme Court will not review the decisions of the Parliamentarian.

As with Obamacare, they are going to push these loads of excremental bills until midnight of the holiday break 2020.

Why?

There are more than a few Republicans that want amnesty. Although, the likes of Graham are never asked to explain their support.

And given that they’ve perfected the ability to steal any election they want, even if this doesn’t pass this time, it’ll pass in the next couple of years.

The laws that Republicans have put on the book to “prevent cheating in an election”, don’t prevent the cheating. At least the one in Georgia doesn’t. The laws have done absolutely nothing with regards to the three biggest issues; voterID, mail in voting and drop boxes. Unless those three things are addressed and with regards to ‘mail in voting and drop boxes’, completely eliminated, elections are pointless and there won’t be many folks in “elected office” to challenge anything the Democrats want, if at all.
