Senate parliamentarian deals blow to Democrats immigration reform plan
| Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough on Sunday dealt a significant blow to Democrats’ plan to provide 8 million greencards as part of a sweeping spending package, warning it doesn’t comply with tight rules that determine what can be in the bill.
MacDonough’s guidance, a copy of which was obtained by The Hill, likely closes the door to Democrats using the spending bill to provide a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrants. |
