Jayapal says Democratic budget package includes amnesty for millions of
illegal immigrants

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., said on Wednesday that the $3.5 trillion
budget proposal by Democrats in Congress will include a number of top
liberal priorities – including pathways to citizenship for millions of
illegal immigrants.

Jayapal said during a press call that the resolution will include a
pathway to citizenship for "Dreamers, TPS, essential workers, and
farmworkers."

DEMS URGE BIDEN TO INCLUDE AMNESTY FOR SOME ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN SECOND
SPENDING BILL

By "Dreamers," Jayapal was referring to recipients or those eligible for
the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program, which
protected immigrants who came to the country illegally as children from
deportation. Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients are those from
countries where it is deemed unsafe for them to return due to armed
ongoing conflict, environmental disasters or "extraordinary and temporary
conditions."

While the details are unclear, past efforts at such pathways for
farmworkers have been eligible for if they have worked 400 days or more in
a five-year period and passed background checks and included seasonal or
temporary work.

Democrats have previously pushed for amnesty for "essential workers,"
calling for Biden to include it in a prior spending package. At that time,
they defined the term broadly – including those who work in sectors such
as health care, emergency response, sanitation, restaurant ownership, food
preparation, vending, catering, food packaging, meat processing, hotel or
retail work, agricultural work, landscaping, construction, nanny services,
and house cleaning and janitorial services, as well as those operating
laundromats.

BIDEN IMMIGRATION BILL WOULD MAKE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT FARMWORKERS
IMMEDIATELY ELIGIBLE FOR GREEN CARDS

In that case, it would also apply to those who work in those industries
but lost their job due to the coronavirus pandemic, and illegal immigrant
relatives of those who died of COVID-19.

On Wednesday, Jayapal also said the mammoth $3.5 trillion package includes
items that progressives had sought including investments in housing,
universal child care, paid leave, a Medicare expansion and "climate
investments"

The package is likely to see significant opposition from Republicans and
could require almost complete Democratic unity in both chambers to pass.

Democrats hold a slim majority in the House, and there is a 50-50 split in
the Senate, which would be broken by Vice President Kamala Harris in the
case of a tie. Since it is a budget bill, it can pass with 51 votes
instead of the normal 60 needed for other legislation.

All eyes will be on moderate Democrats in the Senate such as Joe Manchin,
D-W.Va., and Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., who have bucked their party on a
number of issues – including immigration.


Manchin issued a statement Wednesday saying he looks forward to reviewing
their agreement and is "very interested in how this proposal is paid for
and how it enables us to remain globally competitive."

"I will reserve any final judgment until I’ve had the opportunity to
thoroughly evaluate the proposal," he said.
