As a part of the $3.5T (and guess add the $1.2T infrastructure) bill, there are few details on immigration reform.
The lack of details implies this is really not a priority for Biden (also evidenced also by the lack of Kamala in the news). Illegal immigration aside, let's do the low hanging fruit like increase guest workers, address H-1 abuses, etc.
Democrats Seek to Legalize Undocumented Immigrants via Massive Budget Proposal
Quote:
Senate Democrats unveiled an initial framework for a proposed federal budget resolution for the 2022 fiscal year, which begins in October. The framework includes two items pertaining to immigration — "lawful permanent status for qualified immigrants" and "investments in smart and effective border security measures."
No further details were provided, but Democrats have long championed providing legal status to a large proportion of the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants in America — a first step toward potential U.S. citizenship.

To get around the roadblock, Sanders is attaching immigration proposals to a massive $3.5 trillion spending blueprint Democrats are championing.
