Leftists erupted with outrage on Twitter Sunday after news broke that the Senate parliamentarian said the reconciliation bill will not include a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, including DREAMers, torpedoing President Joe Biden’s domestic agenda.
As the Associated Press noted, the Senate parliamentarian said, “Democrats can’t use their $3.5 trillion package bolstering social and climate programs to give millions of immigrants a chance to become citizens, a crushing blow to what was the party’s clearest pathway in years to attaining that long-sought goal.”
“The decision by Elizabeth MacDonough, the Senate’s nonpartisan interpreter of its often enigmatic rules, is a damaging and disheartening setback for President Joe Biden, congressional Democrats and their allies in the pro-immigration and progressive communities,” noted the Associated Press (AP).
“It badly damages Democrats’ hopes of unilaterally enacting — over Republican opposition — changes letting several categories of immigrants gain permanent residence and possibly citizenship,” it added.
As news of the setback poured out over social media, leftists and their allies were unanimous in their frustration, with many urging Senate Democrats to simply ignore MacDonough and ram the initiatives through anyway.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said in a statement that his colleagues will be preparing “alternate proposals” over the next few days:

Senator Dick Durbin
I am deeply disappointed in the Parliamentarian’s decision tonight, but the fight for immigration reform will continue. Senate Democrats have prepared an alternative proposal for the Parliamentarian’s consideration in the coming days.
The soon-to-be-DOXxed Elizabeth MacDonough...
Today’s “Feel Good” story.
Keeping the faith.
America - Isaiah 54:17
16. Behold, I have created the craftsman who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its task; and I have created the destroyer to wreak havoc.
17. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.
BINGO.
From the party that wants consent on everything and "no means no" hashtags, etc.
Hey Leftists, you are screaming about this decision frustrating your agenda...but what if the decision is technically correct? Shouldn’t you control your ire if it is? Do you have any good reason to think it is not?
“Elizabeth MacDonough, the Senate’s nonpartisan interpreter of its often enigmatic rules..”
Well, the rules are pretty clear as far as Reconciliation, only measures that directly relate to budget matters can be attached to legislation under Reconciliation.
This is all for show.
There are no rules anymore.
22 million. What a joke. There are over 30 million illegals here. I would stake my life on it.
They won’t stop with this decision....they never do. They’ll just come at it another way....got to have their voting numbers one way or another.
Leftist rage? I guess they don’t care for the other 2/3rds of the country won’t go along with the little brats.
Spoiled effing children.
The “Official” number of illegals was 35 million about 20 years ago. Then POOF, overnight the official number was changed to 11 million. No one knows the real number, but I would bet it is north of 50 million by now.
Hey fat-head:
She ruled. No "immigration reform" in reconcilliation, PERIOD.
Also dashes your desires to take over State election processes, federally. She'll rule the same on that one, too.
I would gladly update the meme but I don’t have the tools.
Jeesh Nancy P just deem it passed and move on, there is still a lot of country to destroy.
May I be the first to say: “Elizabeth MacDonough did not kill herself.”
Theyre perpetually angry...who cares.
