Senate Democrats are mulling a long-shot bid to get immigration reform to President Biden's desk as they struggle to make good on years of campaign promises.
The guidance from parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, who this week rejected Democrats' third immigration proposal, is fueling conversations within the Senate Democratic caucus about trying to circumvent the non-partisan, unelected Senate referee.
Democrats haven't landed on a strategy on how to get immigration legislation into Biden's massive climate and social spending package, which is in limbo until at least January. But they are leaving the door open to either trying to override MacDonough's guidance, which is non-binding, or leapfrog her on the Senate floor altogether.
"Every tool that exists whether it's legislative or procedural should be kept on the table. ...We need to pursue every option," Sen. Ben Ray Lujan (D-N.M.) said.
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), who has been involved in the negotiations, said they were “considering all the options legislatively, procedurally, administratively so, we’ll see.”
Lujan and Menendez issued a statement with Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) — backed by Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the No. 1 and No. 2 Senate Democrats, respectively — were they vowed to "pursue every means to achieve a path to citizenship in the Build Back Better Act."

I think they should include it.
THEN THAT WOULD BE THE DEATH OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.
So, The Hill, that would be something to which we should look forward.
Bet you didn’t expect that, you Nazis.
Don’t like the rules? Cheat.
Democrats can NOT win without violence and/or cheating.
Only rational citizens who believe in law and order, and limited governmental powers, believe the law is important.
Here’s an idea: Why don’t the pro-open borders folks simply draft up a real nice stand-alone immigration bill and then vote on it?
why haven’t they just proposed standalone legislation with their amnesty plan? How about some transparency and let everyone see what they are proposing and who supports it while the country has been overrun by 30-60 million illegals and more coming in every day.

I don’t think that it will do them much good.
“...as they struggle to make good on years of campaign promises to drug cartels, China, Soros, Beelzebub and their other masters.”
Fixed it.
the final takedown of America by the Mexican thugs in progress.
As predicted. Once they got enough illegals inside the country to form a significant political mass, they would then dismember our immigration laws.
Senate democrats fear lobbyists money fading they have a huge IOU to pay back not going to end well.
Republicans too pussified to do hardball tactics. That’s why we have the swamp critters in the WH!
The ‘Rats should acknowledge that they stole up to 7 seats in 2020 and are illegitimate.
