WASHINGTON – US Senate Democrats proposed this Friday regularize 8 million undocumented immigrants, including those who came to the country as children and who are known as “dreamers”, a Democratic source told EFE.
The Democrats made that proposal during the meeting they held this Friday with the Republicans with the Senate “parliamentarian”, Elizabeth MacDonough, in charge of interpreting the rules of the legislative process.
That meeting was similar to a “trial” in which Democrats and Republicans presented their arguments to MacDonough, who must issue a kind of “ruling”, something that is not imminent and will not occur at least until next week, according to the aforementioned source.
Democrats called for the regularization of four groups that add up to 8 million migrants: the “dreamers”, farm workers, essential workers (such as medical personnel) and migrants who have accessed an immigration protection called Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
In order for MacDonough to stand in their favor, Democrats had to prove that immigration changes will have an impact on the federal budget and that that impact will be substantial and not “meramente incidental”, as defined in the so-called Byrd Rule, named after the late Senator Robert Byrd, who was in charge of establishing the rules of the process.
To prove that point, the Democrats assured that regularizing 8 million people will have a cost for the coffers of the State of $ 139 billion, for a period of 10 years, according to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that the aforementioned source explained to Efe.

“regularizing”
So that’s what they’re calling amnesty now.
Flimsey Grahamnesty, Micro Rubio, John Hoeven, John Cornyn, Thom Tillis and the rest of the Assistant Democrats can’t wait to help....../s
WTF is a “regular”? So now being American pretty much means nothing! It never ends.
‘Assistant Democrats’. I like that. Tip o’ the horns, sir. Nicely played.
Grounded up a wild hog into sausage a few times, its ugly
We are witnessing the logical conclusion of people with absolutely no common sense or logic rising to the level of leadership. Knee jerk reactors who live by feelings, not facts. Who cannot think further than the here and now. Who believe that each new day erases yesterday’s mistakes and miscalculations, no matter how great or small. Who are the first to blame everyone and the last to praise anyone. Who think that everything is a “right” and nothing is a “privilege”. Who are the first to take and the last to give. Who think that loud equals correct. And have no reason to reflect, because tomorrow changes everything.
This is what is running our Country. This is what the end looks like.
Leads on polls, but that should start with "h" and end with a homonym.
Given the circumstances, you’ve failed to include The Turtle in that list of co-conspirators. Mitch would dearly love to put this agenda in motion. We’ve just heard from his wife.
